Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. We have just a handful of spots left for our pilgrimage to France this October 23rd to November 2nd.

It's going to be a fantastic trip. We're going to begin at the tomb of St. Thomas Aquinas and then go to Lords and the healing baths and then to the birthplace of the Rosary where our lady gave St. Dominic the

Rosary and then to the place I'm looking most forward to the grotto of St Mary Magdalen where she spent the second half of her life just outside of Marseille, France, and then to the culinary capital of France, Leon and the foundress of the living rosary movement,

Pauline Jericho and the curie of our, St. John Bieniena and the apparitions of the sacred heart and many more

Saints. So come with us join Teresa and I as we travel on this great pilgrimage.

All you have to do is go to school of faith.com,

click on pilgrimages,

you'll find all the information.

So 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.

In Shakespeare's play, Henry the 4th, part 1, two good friends are on a battlefield.

One is Prince Hal, the courageous heir to the throne, the other is his cowardly, boorish friend

Falstaff.

Now, Teresa, I'm not very cultured and I always thought

ballstaff was just a popular beer in the 60s and 70s.

Then you're more cultured than I am. Now, Falstaff, the friend of Hal, says he doesn't want to be on the battlefield.

Actually, he wants to be home in bed. And Prince Hal, trying to put

some courage into him, says, Why, thou oest God a death.

As though to say, look, you have this obligation and you're going to have to fulfill it sooner

or later.

So what ultimate difference does it make whether you get down to the business of dying today or tomorrow?
