This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the Rosary.

Welcome to our 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 who've promised to pray for,

especially for Olivia Caneli, for Thomas Lauer,

and for Deacon Fred who is fighting against a very aggressive cancer.

Prolonged solitary confinement is one of the worst forms of psychological torture and in its essence hell is being locked in solitary confinement forever.

Trapped in darkness without seeing, hearing, or feeling the touch of another human person forever with no hope that it will end.

That is hell.

Eternity without friends.

That's starting on a high note, isn't it? Well, if that weren't scary enough, think of this. We are forging hell on earth.

Sadly, I am watching the most dangerous trend develop.

The dissolution or breakup of relationships and friendships all over

with the resulting isolation and loneliness,

the beginning of hell on earth.

Now there are lots of reasons relationships are breaking down. People are

afraid of getting COVID or giving it to someone. We've been discouraged from getting together, we work from home, exercise

from home, order our groceries from home, go to church from home, and most of it we do alone.

We are all living the movie Home Alone.

Plus, everyone is offended by everyone else.

We see what we consider to be... Everyone is offended by everyone else.

We see what we consider to be inexcusable behavior or beliefs by other people and then we write them off.

Doesn't matter if it's politics, religion, morality, or COVID. We write them off because we feel threatened or wronged by others.
