So it is not we who decide what we have to believe, but we look for what the Church tells us. She tells us first of all through the professions of faith, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, then through the dogmatic councils, and finally through everything that has been solemnly and infallibly taught by the magisterium of the Church. That is the unity we have to cling to. The pope, bishops, priests have the authority for keeping the faith. It is the primary purpose of their authority: to profess the faith and to spread it abroad in the hearts of men. * 10:30 – Today's Morning Devotion (Psalm 84) as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Canticle of Zacharius (Lk 1:68-79). * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 17:45 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 140), as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Magnificat: Luke 1:46-55. * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
