This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to the Rosary, everyone.

I'm so honored to be here.

This is a birthday bash.

For the Ferraro's, we're here on their driveway,

and we're enjoying good conversation and

friendship and delicious food and now we're ready to pray the rosary.

So that's called to mind that we're ever in the presence of Almighty God and

whom we live and move and have our

being. We call upon him in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen. We offer this rosary for all of our prayer petitions and for our birthday boys tonight and the title of

this Rosary is called The Invitation. We recently received this note from one of our

listeners. She said, I first heard of the movement of the

Holy Family at a woman's retreat at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Peachtree City,

Georgia. Mike and Troy. The talks about suffering and St. Fotina really

pierced my heart. I had always identified with the Samaritan woman, St. Fotina, because my story was so much like hers.

I was at a very dark place and very far from the Catholic Church

when my mother-in-law asked me to go on that retreat. I had to work after the

retreat. I was working as a bartender at a restaurant. On a trip back from the

food window I noticed that Troy and some of the women who arranged the retreat were there eating.

They're eating.

I was overwhelmed with the thought that I needed to tell them how impactful the retreat was for me.
