This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

I am at meapocalanao, the monastery started by St. Maximilian Colby, and I am here with my Habibi, Sandy, and 12 of my young friends, including Teresa the Great

and Xavier.

So here we are praying the rosary, looking out the window at the Basilica at St. Maximmei and Colby's Monastery.

So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son

and the Holy Spirit.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

St. Maxima and Colby was born the second son of a poor weaver on Januaryth, 1894.

I have been friends with Maximilian Colby since 1992.

Yes, I know he is in heaven. We are to be friends with the Saints.

Colby, when he was a little boy, was very boisterous, obstinate even, independent.

When he was nine years old, his mother cried out in exasperation,

my child, what is to become of you?

But soon after, Colby changed completely,

so completely his mother pressed him for a reason.

Maximilian gave for a reason.

Maximilian gave her the reason.

He recounted what took place.

He said that, mother, when you cried out,

what will become of me, I prayed often to the Madonna to tell me what I would become.

One day in church, I begged her again and she appeared to me holding two crowns.
