		<description><![CDATA[This year Advent feels like it is one week longer.  In the past week I've gone to a 50th wedding anniversary, a wedding, and had a great time with my wife's family for Thanksgiving.  I've spent a lot of time talking to friends and family at the various events.  At the anniversary, my cousin and I talked about prayer and the rosary.  We touched on many ideas and I can't go into detail on all of them in this post (but I will probably bring them up in the future).  However, there was one rosary prayer of her's that I found particularly interesting that seemed relevant to Advent and preparing our souls for the Lord.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Fourth Glorious Mystery of the holy rosary we meditate and pray on Mary's Assumption into Heaven.  Having accepted God's plan in the Annunciation, Mary was honored by being assumed, body and soul, into God's kingdom.  However, Her work was far from over as She now takes the role of our guide and spiritual mentor.  She is always trying to bring us closer to Her son, Jesus Christ.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rosary meditation focuses on The First Luminous Mystery -- Jesus' Baptism in the Jordan.  In this mystery we see Jesus transforming Baptism from being a purely symbolic act of renewal to an actual gift of the Holy Spirit that cleanses our soul of original sin.  For this mystery I'm going to focus on the central message of John the Baptist -- a call to repentance.  While John is usually associated with Baptism (hence his title), his ministry really focuses on the Sacrament of Confession.  He preached that we prepare ourselves to fully receive God when we approach Him with a repentant heart.  These two sacraments really go hand-in-hand in that they both center around the Holy Spirit cleansing our soul of the effects of sin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rosary meditation is on the Fourth Luminous Mystery -- The Transfiguration.  In this mystery, Jesus took his apostles, Peter, John, and James up to a mountain to pray.  There His clothes turned dazzling white and Moses and Elijah appeared with Him.  Then a voice came from the clouds saying, "This is my chosen Son; listen to Him."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today's rosary meditation is The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery -- The Crucifixion.  After suffering through the scourging, being mocked with a crown of thorns, and carrying a cross, Jesus died alongside two criminals.  Jesus' crucifixion is the ultimate example that we are all called to follow God's plan even in the face of great difficulty.  As imitators of Christ, we cannot ignore or avoid God's will when we find ourselves in difficult situations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rosary meditation focuses on The Fifth Luminous Mystery -- The Institution of the Eucharist.  This mystery goes to the core of the Catholic faith; that the bread and wine at Mass actually are TRANSFORMED into the Body and Blood of Christ.  For Catholics, the Eucharist is not just a symbol, but is actually the very real presence of Jesus.  The consecration of the bread and wine is no different than if Jesus, in human form, came walking through the doors of the church.  And yet many of us receive Jesus regularly during Communion without appreciating the enormity of this gift.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s rosary meditation centers around the First Glorious Mystery &#8212; Jesus&#8217; Resurrection.  After Jesus&#8217; death on the Cross, the Roman and Jewish authorities thought that they had taken care of that &#8220;troublemaker.&#8221;  However, despite His death, the solid rock walls of the tomb, the large boulder sealing the entrance, and the guards, nothing of [...]]]></description>
