* 07:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Our Lord said to the Samaritan woman, “God is spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:24). We always have to bear in mind that we are spiritual creatures and try to foster the conviction that the spiritual world exists, that it is much more important, much more real, much more true, so to speak, than the material world, than the sensible world. We cannot forget that matter comes from the spirit and not the contrary, as people would like to have us believe today.

* 07:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Acquiring the holiness we need to save our souls is no simple thing. Indeed, our daily experience and the doctrine of the Church teach us that even though the grace of baptism gives us back sanctifying grace by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and frees us from original sin and the diabolic presence, it does not free us from all of the consequences of original sin. These consequences explain why our spiritual life takes on the tones of a spiritual combat which is going to last our whole life here below.

* 08:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
The Church is a Mother who knows us better than we know ourselves. She knows very well that we are lacking in these areas. We let ourselves be dragged along by so many weaknesses, so many evil tendencies, which mean that we are not subject to our Lord Jesus Christ. “That when the day is gone, and night follows in its due course, having kept ourselves from the cares of the world, we may sing the glory of God.” It is so beautiful, this desire that we express every morning! For it to come true, we need to keep a constant watch over ourselves.

* 08:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: It is a miracle that our Lord Jesus Christ was not simply always in splendor as He was on Mount Tabor. Normally He would have been radiant and He would have had a glorified body, since He had the beatific vision. But in order to suffer and to die for us on the cross, He willed to share our human condition to the full. Yet, our Lord cannot be separated from the two other divine Persons; He is the Son of God, essentially united to the others.

* 08:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
Let us not be of those who only look at the human face of our Lord Jesus Christ. Obviously, it is easier to picture Him as a man, such as He was in Bethlehem, in Nazareth, in Palestine, on the cross. We can and we ought to picture Him like that also. St. Thomas says very clearly that, if we consider Him in His humanity as we pray, it will be the means of enlivening our devotion. But we have to be careful not to consider just His humanity. We always have to keep in mind that behind His humanity dwells the divinity.
