Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to

pray for. I know people who live in the beauty of the mountains and have become so familiar with them that they don't even see them anymore.

That can too easily happen with us with the great gift of the mass. So we need to think about the unbelievable

reality of the mass so that we don't take it for granted. Now the greatest event in the history of the world is the suffering death and

resurrection of Jesus Christ. By this event called the Pascal Mystery. Jesus saved us from sin, death, and the power of the devil,

and he began the recreation of the world. The Pascal mystery means all the saving events that took

place from Holy Thursday when Jesus celebrated the Last Supper, his suffering and death on Good Friday, his descent

to the dead on Holy Saturday, and his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday and his ascension

into heaven.

In the Mass, the Holy Spirit makes those saving events

from the life of Jesus present, not just in our memory, not figuratively, not only in our imagination, but truly present. And that's why the

catechism will say that in the eucharist the church is as it were

at the foot of the cross with Mary united with the offering and intercession of Christ.

In the Mass we are at Calvary, united to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

The suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus are made present in the Mass. Why? So that his victory over Satan, sin, and death may continue

in us and in the world.

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow would be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses.

As we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
