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.

In the Catholic tradition, there's a lot of emphasis placed on what we call the transcendentals.

These are notions that in some sense apply to every real thing. That's why they're called transcendentals,

because they transcendentery and apply to everything. The four most famous transcendental notions are being, truth, goodness, and beauty.

And we believe that these notions, in a a sense completely overlap. That's where you have one and the others

apply also. That's why God who is the supreme being is also the supreme truth, the supreme good, and the supremely beautiful one.

Now these aren't different parts of God. God is all true, all good, and all beautiful.

And he has created a reality that is also true and good and beautiful. So when we understand the

world then we say that our minds know the truth about it and when we desire certain things in the world and

we use those things to fulfill ourselves on the path to heaven, then we say that our wills appreciate the goodness of the world.

And when we delight in the truth and the goodness of the world, then we may say that we are experiencing the world's

beauty.

So, where are you finding beauty? Where do you delight in the goodness and truth of things?

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

Thy kingdom come, by 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, blessed art thou among women. Amen. a sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.

The Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women,

blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God.
