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.

The 9th and 10th Commandment, as well as 1st John Chapter 2,

verse 16, warn us against the threefold disordered desire of lust,

greed, and pride. These are the three big temptations of

money, sex, and power, or we could say self, sex and stuff.

Often in different phases of our life were tempted more or less by each of these.

For instance, young adults are often tempted largely by lust.

Those in the middle of their lives are often tempted by power or influence,

and those at the end of their lives are often tempted most by the need for certainty and

stability and comfort that comes from money and stuff.

But the point is that if you don't get a handle on these disordered desires, they'll

ruin you. And nothing shows that more clearly than the tragic story of Solomon.

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

Thy kingdom come thy 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.

O Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, blessed

that is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, for affrayinner is known at the hour of our death, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,
