Prayers, etc.: * 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:30 – praying The Angelus * 07:10 – praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare * 07:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The fear of sin has to turn into the fear of being a cause of the Passion of our Lord. We have to be so afraid of causing pain to our Lord, so afraid of turning away from Him and being separated from Him, that we avoid sin at all cost, not only mortal sin but venial sin as well. We say it in the beautiful prayer that comes just before Communion, “Do not allow me ever to be separated from You.” * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:40 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Ripperger'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 Thursday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Prayers, etc.: * 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:55 – praying The Angelus * 07:00 – praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 09:05 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The nearer we draw to God, the more we tremble. “The angels tremble, the archangels shudder,” says the preface of the Mass. The more we teach a soul about the grandeur and the perfection of God, the more that soul acquires a longing to love and to serve God, and the more it is touched by fear: it realizes more and more that to go against the will of God is something terrible. * 13:30 – praying The Angelus * 14:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:35 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Ask the Virgin Mary, our kind mother in Heaven, to come to your help and you will see how the rosary is a powerful prayer. In apparitions, the most Blessed Virgin has always come with her rosary in her hand, to show us how attached she is to that prayer. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:05 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 19:35 – praying 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 – praying The Angelus * 06:40 – praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 10:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: We have to be careful not to let ourselves be caught up in a kind of religious sentimentalism. We cannot base our religion on sentiment, but on principles of spirituality which do not come from us. If we have objective principles, then we stay faithful to God in adversity. Unfortunately, we too often judge our spirituality based on our feelings. But prayer is not primarily on the level of the senses. Prayer is on the spiritual level. That God should grant us some sensible satisfactions in our prayer is God's business. He does it to encourage us. But prayer consists in raising our soul toward God and not our eyes, not our arms... Devotion cannot depend on the rhythm of our heartbeat, or else we are unhappy as soon as we don't feel any more fervor. We don't know how to pull ourselves out of it, we complain, and soon we lose the faith, soon we lose everything. So, today more than ever, we need a piety that rests on solid foundations, such as our Lord gave to us and illustrated through His saints. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:45 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:30 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

SPECIAL NOTE There will be fewer items listed here in the future, especially under the Prayers and Chores categories. I'll still be listing my “core” prayers, meditations, etc. and I'll still list those main chores I want to verify as completed. But I won't be listing every individual podcast, every essay, or every TV show. Doing so takes too much of my time. And I'll be more needing more time because I'll be starting a new blog with more writing etc. There's nothing there yet. Roscoe's Thoughts But it's my intention to start posting there soon.

Prayers, etc.: * 04:30 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 06:40 – praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 07:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The Virgin Mary had only one thought, only one love: her divine Son. She never desired anything but the reign of her divine Son. She still shows that to be true in her apparitions here below. So ask her to give you a little of her knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, she who possessed it in so magnificent a manner, since she was filled with the Holy Spirit. Ask her to make you participate in her knowledge in order to make you participate also in her love for our Lord and for His reign. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:45 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:45 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Ripperger'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 Thursday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

And because she loved our Lord, she willed to share with Him His sufferings. She saw her Son suffer and she willed to suffer with Him. When the heart of Jesus was pierced, so also was hers.
