Welcome to our daily rosary and meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Hey, Teresa, I know how much you love hockey and guess what? There is a special faith and family hockey event here in Kansas City on Sunday, February 25th at

4.05 PM. It's a hockey game with the Kansas City Mavericks, but it's especially

dedicated to bring families out and share faith. So if you go to our website you can

find information. We're also going to send an email out to everybody to have a special discount for this hockey

game, but everybody should come out and delight in great athletes hitting each other.

You're gonna love the Mavericks.

And some great hockey.

Yeah, the Mavericks are the team that got me into hockey.

So everybody come out for faith and family, February 25th, 405, look for the special offer in our email.

What does the path of spiritual perfection

look like according to Theresa of Avalon, John of the Cross.

Well, we exist to enjoy perfect union with God.

That's the reason for you. It's your purpose. So how does it happen? How do we get to the point where we're perfectly united with God. Roughly, there are three phases to the journey.

First, you have to prepare yourself to meet God. Then you actually meet God and get to know him.

And finally, he makes you perfect so that he can enjoy you perfectly and you can perfectly enjoy him. Now many people

will spend their whole life on the first step. In this life they are just preparing themselves to meet God.

Then when they die they actually meet God in their particular judgment.

And finally they go to purgatory until they're made perfect and ready to enjoy God's company.

But the Saints have assured us that it's also possible by God's grace to go through these three stages here in this life.

So what does that process look like?

Our father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name.
