| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family. |
| 0:04.0 | Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. |
| 0:06.0 | Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:09.0 | Amen. |
| 0:10.0 | Let's call the mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:16.5 | Today is the feast of our Lady of Guadalupe. |
| 0:35.0 | In 1519, the Spanish Explorer Cortez sailed to Mexico and there he found the Aztec people enslaved in a culture of death, literally a cult of human sacrifice. For the Aztecs worshipped demonic spirits represented by the Serpent God |
| 0:41.0 | under the sign of the Crescentrescent moon and the god of war under the sign of the sun. |
| 0:46.9 | And the Aztecs believed both demanded human sacrifice. The Aztec priests offered to their gods every year at least 50,000 men, women, and children in human sacrifice. |
| 1:02.0 | 80,000 in one four-day period in 1487 by their own records and one out of every five |

| 2:11.0 | In 1530, the Bishop of Mexico City, Bishop Zumerago, excommunicated de Guzman for his crimes, and then |
| 2:21.1 | de Guzman tried to assassinate the bishop. |
| 2:24.0 | The Mexican people lost a third of their population to the smallpox |
| 2:29.0 | and the Aztec astrologers said it was the end of their world. |
| 2:35.0 | This was a culture that was impossible to convert to Christ. |
| 2:40.3 | And the situation seemed so hopeless that the bishop wrote a letter to the emperor Charles V at the end of which he said if God does not provide a solution from his own hand this land is about to be |
| 2:59.3 | completely lost. Our Father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name, thy kingdom come, |
