Monday 2025-01-27

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. * 07:05 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: 2 Tim. 4:1-8 and Gospel: Matt 5:13-19. * 07:45 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 10:05 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Three particular graces adorn the soul and the body of Jesus, from the moment of His conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and from the infusion of the soul into the body which was prepared for it.

The first grace, which is also the source of the other two, is unique in all of creation. By his eternal decision to unite to His Person a soul and a body, God the Word communicated His very divinity to these creatures in a mysterious, ineffable manner, to the degree that they were capable of receiving it, according to the divine will. It is called the grace of the hypostatic union, which confers a divine dignity upon this soul and this body. All of the acts of this soul and this body are consequently divine, and are justly attributed to God, who assumes responsibility for every action of this soul and this body. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:20 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:10 – 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 Monday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Prayers, etc.: * 05:30 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 07:00 – praying The Angelus * 07:05 – praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 07:25 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Rom 12:16-21 and Gospel: Matt 8:1-13. * 07:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: One of the psalms talks about those who have not received their soul in vain (Ps. 23:4). I hope that we are among them. It is God who has given us our soul, it is not our parents. Our parents were the occasion for the creation of that soul, but it is God who created our soul directly. And God willed to sanctify it by baptism, washing it in His blood and giving us, by the very fact, faith, hope and charity. So we have to know our Lord Jesus Christ and we have to live His life. * 08:15 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:50 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:10 – 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 Sunday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Believing in our Lord Jesus Christ, affirming His divinity, means believing in His work as a whole. So it means believing in the Church, one, holy, Catholic, apostolic, and Roman. It means believing in the value of His sacrifice; it means believing in the necessity of baptism in order to be saved. * 08:00 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:50 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:10 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

It is precisely that dogma of the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. The reason people are attacking miracles today is that they want to explain those miracles away as natural occurrences, so they will be able say that our Lord Jesus Christ is a prophet, a kind of superman, but not truly the Son of God. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:10 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:10 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Arianism, Pelagianism, are essentially attacks on the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. And then, later on, Protestant naturalism, which we are still suffering from today in a very particular manner, refuses to recognize the supernatural or that we are authentically sons of God. * 07:20 – making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 12:00 – The Angelus * 14:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:10 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

And the consequences are terrible. You have to think of this world around us, of all humanity living today and of humanity gone by. Our Lord Jesus Christ and His divinity are the ultimate deciding factor for men, the deciding factor for eternal life. * 07:50 – making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 12:00 – The Angelus * 15:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:40 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Indeed, there we have the whole history of the Church, for twenty centuries, unfolding before our eyes. We see that opposition to the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every way that could possibly be imagined.

The Church, on the other hand, is filled with that faith in the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. * 09:10 – making an [Act of Spiritual Communion(https://write.as/roscoes-thoughts/an-act-of-spiritual-communion) * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 20:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

That is what Annas and Caiphas asked our Lord:

“Just tell us, are you God or not?” “Yes, I am God.” “He has blasphemed!” (cf. Mt. 26:63-65)

Rather than bowing before the truth, rather than believing that He was God, they crucified Him, they put Him to death. * 07:00 – praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 13:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:15 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
