| 0:00.0 | This is Holy Family School of Faith. |
| 0:05.0 | So welcome to our Rosary meditation. |
| 0:08.0 | Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:11.0 | Amen. |
| 0:12.0 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. I continue to offer this for the strengthening of Jeannie Sherman because we know that she's offering all of her prayer and suffering for us in return and |
| 0:25.2 | and that's one of the main purposes of this movement of the Holy Family for people to join together, to make a choice, to join |

| 1:51.1 | Fear is the emotional response to the possible loss of something loved. |
| 1:58.0 | It's appropriate to fear the loss of what is objectively important when that good thing is at risk. But fear becomes |
