John 6:51-58
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 Then the Jews debated among themselves, asking, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “I assure you, unless you eat the flesh of the Human One and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in them. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me lives because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. It isn’t like the bread your ancestors ate, and then they died. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

It's our first Saturday of the month, which we try to give to Mary, our mother. So today we offer you a beautiful visual rosary that Father Ron and Sarah prayed together not long ago called, The 5 Mysteries of Love.
While praying it, you will see some beautiful Gothic churches that Father Ron has taken over the years to inspire your imaginations and hearts.
p.s. There are 4 or 5 visual rosaries in our Video Rosary Series--though Fr. Ron says this is his favorite! Enjoy

Sons of God: Hear His Holy word,
Gather around the table of the Lord
Eat His Body, drink His Blood
And we'll sing a song of love
Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia.

Brothers, sister we are one,
And our life has just begun,
In the spirit we are young,
We can live forever.

Gather around the table of the Lord
Eat His Body, drink His Blood
And we'll sing a song of love
Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia.

Shout together to the Lord
Who has promised our reward,
Happiness a hundred fold
And we'll live forever.

Jesus gave a new command:
That we love our fellow man,
Till we reach the promised land
Where we'll live forever.

And we'll sing a song of love
Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia.
