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

0:19.6

Welcome to our rosary meditation. The past two days we've been reflecting on the immense power of prayer and

0:25.1

sacrifice offered to Jesus for the conversion of souls and this made me think

0:30.9

What if we all submitted names of family and friends who need deeper

0:35.7

conversion to our prayer list and then we all committed to offer our daily

But Colby lived differently.

1:48.0

Colby lived sacrificial love.

1:51.1

And Colby seemed never to think of himself.

1:54.3

When food was brought in, everyone struggled to get his place, to be sure of a share.

1:59.8

But Colby, he stood aside, so that frequently there was none left for him.

2:05.0

He was once asked whether such self-denial made sense in a place where every man was engaged

2:10.9
