Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. At Fatima, God said that he wanted to save the world through

devotion to the immaculate heart of Mary. That's what we're trying to do, to help bring about the

Around the year 1000 BC, God picks out David and promises to give him an everlasting kingdom. But Solomon, his son,

the most intelligent man who ever lived, was addicted to power, greed, and lust, 700 wives,

and 300 concubines. Solomon even burned his own sons to the demon Moloch.
