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.

Without prayer, you're simply wasting your life.

It's a constant struggle to remember that what you can't see or touch or taste

is more important, more permanent, than what you can. We forget constantly.

Forget the soul is more important than the body. Forget the soul is more important than the body.

Forget that heaven matters more than earth.

That God's opinion and not public opinion or the praise we hear from others

is the crucial thing.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle to remain faithful to daily prayer. We always say I just don't have time. What that means is that

deep down we think time spent on our tangible measurable projects and goals and responsibilities

is more important than time spent on God and our own soul because that's what

prayer is. It's time exclusively dedicated to God and to the perfection of your soul.

And you can't see your soul, and you can't see God. But in the long run the part of you that you need to worry about is your soul and the only thing you need to worry about is reaching God.

Which means if you're not praying,

if you're not dedicating time to God

and to raising your soul to Him,

then actually you're wasting your life.

Our Father who arts in heaven, hallow would be your name,

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

Give us 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.
