| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:05.0 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:09.0 | Today we meditate on the Third Commandment. |
| 0:12.0 | Do you know what the Third Commandment is? |
| 0:15.0 | God said through Moses, |
| 0:19.0 | Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. |
| 0:22.0 | For six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a |

| 1:21.6 | People like to get stuff done. It's rewarding. It's |
| 1:25.4 | pleasant. It's nice to have something to do. So why would God take that away from us? |

| 1:48.0 | Our Father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. |
| 1:51.0 | Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass |
