One of the main themes of my website is that prayer can be likened to exercise. Any good fitness instructor will tell you that you need to rest periodically so you can regain energy and avoid injury.

I saw this video the other day and thought that it was worth sharing. I was happy (and a tad envious) to see that it has been viewed over 130,000+ times and has a five-star rating.

Today’s rosary meditation focuses on the Third Luminous Mystery — Jesus’ proclamation of the kingdom of God with a call to conversion. We should remember that Jesus is the Word made Flesh who brought the power and glory of Heaven into this world.

By conversion, Jesus asks us to put away our worldly and sinful ways and truly embrace His teachings of goodness and mercy.
