Even non-religious movies can offer great insight into the Catholic faith and provide some ideas for deeper rosary meditation.  Beware, this article has movie spoilers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thursday, April 1 is the feast day  of St. Mary of Egypt.  I came across her story of forgiveness and redemption on EWTN News and thought I would share it with you since it ties in so nicely with many mysteries of the rosary.  Mary of Egypt was born in 344 A.D. and worked as a prostitute for 17 years.  She joined a pilgrimage to Jerusalem so that she could sell her services to those travelling to venerate the relic of the True Cross.  Upon arriving at the church where she intended to lead many into sin, a mysterious force prevented her from entering with the other pilgrims.  After trying several times she gave up, went into a small courtyard, and began to cry in remorse.  Upon seeing a statue of the Virgin Mary, she prayed for permission to enter the church promising to give up her sinful ways.  Mary granted her permission.  Changed by the experience and touched by God's mercy Mary of Egypt lived as a hermit in the desert for 47 years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost a year ago a visitor left a comment mentioning the website "Come Pray the Rosary" (thanks Jack!).  This website is a perpetual, online Rosary prayer session with others around the world.  The prayer is set to video of various holy places and works of religious art.  You can also leave prayer intentions if you like.  You can pray alone and start at the beginning of a mystery instead of joining a mystery already in progress.  I know that sometimes we all need a little "kick" to start praying and that is what this site offers.  It may sound silly, but sometimes a voice set to a little video is the catalyst I need to get in that praying mood.  Guided rosary prayer also helps us focus our minds since they have a tendency to wonder when we pray silently by ourselves (or at least I suffer from this at times).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today's rosary meditation focuses on the Fourth Sorrowful Mystery -- Jesus Carries His Cross.  This mystery encapsulates many of the Stations of the Cross.  We see Jesus take up the cross, fall repeatedly, meet the mourning women, be stripped of his garments, and nailed to the cross.  Like the other Sorrowful Mysteries, Jesus carrying His cross teaches us about the nature of suffering and that we are called to love God and do His Will despite any suffering we may encounter in our lives.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rosary meditation focuses on the Third Sorrowful Mystery -- The Crowning of Thorns.  The Roman soldiers mocked Jesus by dressing Him in royal purple and crowning Him with thorns (Mk. 15:17).  They then mocked Him and pretended to pay Him homage (Mk. 15:19).  Would the soldiers have acted so cavalier and arrogant if they truly understood who it was they were mocking?  While we are not as brazen as those soldiers, we often mock Jesus by giving lip service to our faith.  Instead of faithfully following Jesus, we too often dishonor Him by putting the fleeting treasures of this life in front of the treasures waiting for us in Heaven.  Particularly in this time of Lent we must make a sincere effort to put Jesus first in our lives and honor Him the way He deserves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rosary meditation focuses on The Second Glorious Mystery -- The Ascension.  After rising from the dead in the First Glorious Mystery, Jesus physically ascended into Heaven.  We profess this every time we recite the Apostle's Creed -- "On the third day He rose again;  He ascended into Heaven,  He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come again to judge the living and the dead."  We must remember that ultimately we will have to account for our thoughts, words, and actions in front of Jesus who reigns in Heaven.  However, the Church gives us tools that allow us to remain close to God and correct our faults before facing our final judgment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This rosary meditation focuses on The Fourth Joyful Mystery -- The Presentation of our Lord.  In this mystery we see Mary and Joseph present Jesus at the temple as was the Jewish tradition.  They encountered a man named Simeon whom the Holy Spirit said would not experience death until he had seen the Anointed One.  Upon seeing Jesus, Simeon said "Now Master, You can dismiss Your servant in peace; You have fulfilled Your word" (Luke 2:29).  Simeon is an example on how our faith requires patience, endurance, and moral fortitude.  While there are times when we may not feel God's presence in our lives our faith tells us that He is always near and always hears our prayers.]]></description>

		<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[Today's rosary meditation focuses on The Fifth Joyful Mystery -- The Finding of Jesus in the Temple.  When returning from a festival in Jerusalem, Mary and Joseph noticed that Jesus was not in the caravan.  They went back to Jerusalem and searched for Jesus for three days before finding Him in the temple talking to the elders.  When Mary said that she and Joseph had been searching for Him in sorrow, Jesus responded, "Why did you search for me?  Did you not know I had to be in My Father's house?" (Lk. 2:49).]]></description>
