Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 08:00 – The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare • 10:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: It is our Lord Jesus Christ Himself who said it: the shepherd goes before his sheep, he leads them. And because he is a true shepherd, the sheep hear his voice and recognize his voice and they follow him... It is good to read and reread the Gospel in order to see what advice our Lord gave to His Apostles in their apostolate and to see His own manner of acting. That is very important for the fruits of the apostolate. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:50 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Rippberger's Prayer of Command to protect my family, my sons, my daughter and her family, my granddaughters and their families, my great grandchildren, and everyone for whom I have responsibility from any demonic activity. – And that followed by the Sunday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Followed by The Memorare • 12:00 – the Angelus • 16:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The Gospel is far from containing only exhortations to generosity and love. No one will enter the Kingdom if he has not also demonstrated certain qualities of mind and understanding. To make an inventory of the resources at our disposal, to organize them and to put them to work with moderation, with order, is to bring our cooperation to the work of Providence. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:30 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Rippberger's Prayer of Command to protect my family, my sons, my daughter and her family, my granddaughters and their families, my great grandchildren, and everyone for whom I have responsibility from any demonic activity. – And that followed by the Saturday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Followed by The Memorare. • 08:45 – reading Opus Dei and the Knights of Columbus: Anatomy of a Takeover – Part Seven • 12:00 – the Angelus • 15:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Ultimately, it is not enough to take counsel and to reach a judgment; you still have to put it into action. St. Thomas says that the major sin against prudence is this fact of not carrying out what one judges good to do. It is the defect against the execution of judgment, whether by inconstancy or by neglect. Neglect differs from inconstancy by the fact that the inconstant man starts thinking of something else and abandons his resolution; the negligent man lacks promptness in execution. He puts off carrying out the action and finally does nothing at all. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:45 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Rippberger's Prayer of Command to protect my family, my sons, my daughter and her family, my granddaughters and their families, my great grandchildren, and everyone for whom I have responsibility from any demonic activity. – And that followed by the Friday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 07:13 – Praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by The Memorare • 07:40 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Three acts make up prudence: counsel, judgment and command. Our soul holds counsel to study the question, reaches a decision and then carries it out. The defect opposed to counsel is precipitation. We don't take the time to consider how we ought to act. So we launch into action before even reflecting. Precipitation leads to rashness. We think we know instinctively what we ought to do without needing to take counsel. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:55 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 07:15 – The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare • 08:05 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: If prudence is not enlightened by the virtue of faith in order to know exactly what our last end is, then our judgment may well deviate. We run the risk of not sufficiently considering the importance of the goods which God wants to give us, the importance of the spiritual compared to the material, the importance of eternity compared to time. The awareness of the shortness of life, the difficulties we have in resisting temptations, lead us to make certain decisions that we would not otherwise have made. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 18:30 – reading Opus Dei and the Knights of Columbus: Anatomy of a Takeover – Part Six • 19:40 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 07:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: We easily have a false idea of prudence. We easily imagine that it makes you timorous, fearful; that it hinders action and reins it in. Serious mistake! On the contrary, prudence is the golden rule of action. It guides action, encourages it, sustains it, gives it its constancy, its firmness, its success, its true success, which is sanctification and the glory of God. • 07:45 – The SORROWFUL MYSTERIES of the Holy Rosary.

He came down from Heaven, He who is almighty. Verbum caro factum est, “The Word was made flesh” (Jn. 1:14). This statement is the greatest we could imagine, the most beautiful we could imagine, and it is thanks to the most Blessed Virgin that it took place. If she had not pronounced her fiat, God would not have become flesh; He would not have become one of our own.

All of the Catholic religion is there, in that mystery, in that extraordinary mystery of the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ and consequently the Redemption. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:15 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Followed by The Memorare • 11:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Certainly, ever since divine mercy came to manifest itself among us in the person of the Incarnate Word, countless graces tie the heavenly world to the earthly world; and yet we know that for each one of us, despite the graces of all the sacraments, there remains the consequence of original sin which none of us shall escape: and that is death.

But isn't it true that for Christians the death of our Lord softens the rigor of that pain, of that chastisement? With Him we die, with Him we live; so with Him also we shall live and we shall rise again. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 18:45 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

She is taking us by the hand in a way, to lead us to Calvary, to make us participate in the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 18:40 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
