| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our Rosary meditation. |
| 0:01.3 | Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:04.1 | Amen. |
| 0:04.6 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:09.4 | Prudence is the art of making good decisions and there are three steps to prudence |
| 0:17.2 | deliberation judgment and execution the first step is deliberation. This is where we gather all relevant |
