Roscoe's Story

This is my story and I'm stick'n to it.

Prayers, etc.: * 04:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 06:15 – praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 06:40 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Ecclus 45:1-6 and Gospel: Luke 12:35-40. * 06:50 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: How can we imagine that man could be indifferent to the presence of the Word of God in our midst? It is not possible. God willed to come down among us. Who then can say, “I personally don't care, I live my life, I don't need our Lord to be able to make a living.” It's unthinkable. The fact that God should have come to earth, have taken a soul and a body like ours, should have come to dwell among us – how could it not affect man! It is not possible. All the more so that He came to redeem us from our sins! It therefore concerns all of us, because we are all sinners. * 07:20 – praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump * 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 * 19:45 – 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 Friday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

He therefore holds everything in His hands. Everything belongs to Him, and nothing is outside of Him. Men try to escape Him; they do not escape Him; they cannot escape Him.

But we absolutely have to meditate on it, have to know the reality and the truth of it, because it is our faith, it is our entire life and it is the life of the whole world. Nothing happens in the world except in view of our Lord Jesus Christ, for Him or against Him, with Him or without Him, and the key to solving all problems is our Lord. There is no problem here below to which our Lord is indifferent. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:00 – 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.

Our Lord is truly the summit, the center and the heart of all creation. So we can't talk about history, for example, and disregard the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the world, disregard all the influence of the Holy Church, His mystical Spouse, His Mystical Body (Eph. 1:23), of which we are members by baptism. You see how many consequences there are to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ! * 06:55 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Col 3:12-17 and Gospel: Luke 2:42-52. * 09:40 – praying day 8 of 9 of the Infant of Prague Novena * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:55 – 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.

This event is so incredible, so tremendous, so important in the history of humanity that it has to be like the magnetic pole attracting all souls, those created before His coming and those who would appear after His coming. All of them must turn toward our Lord, toward God come among us to offer Himself on the cross. So the cross of our Lord literally dominates the history of the world. * 07:05 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Titus 3:4-7 and Gospel: Luke 2:15-20. * 07:20 – praying day 7 of 9 of the Infant of Prague Novena * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:40 – 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.

The life spoken of here is especially spiritual life. St. John affirms that all intellectual and spiritual life in us comes from the Word. It is like a continual communication of the light that is in God. This light is diffused and comes to us by the intermediary of the Word. It is this light which illuminates our minds. We would be incapable of the least intellectual conception, of formulating an idea or reasoning, without the light of the Word. All that our intellect studies, conceives or produces occurs under the illumination of the Word. It is a stupendous thing! * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

He existed. And the use of the imperfect tense in Greek is the best expression of this concept. One could not say: the Word came to be, but only that He was. So it expresses the perennity, the eternity of the Word before all things began. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:30 – 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.
