Let us not limit the Person of the Word to that body which we could have seen, nor even to that soul which animates that body. God is always God. He is the Eternal, the Almighty. The Word is not limited to the soul and the body of our Lord. His almightiness is not enclosed, limited, restricted to that body. As He animates that body and that soul, it is God who is speaking through them. And at that moment He is holding the entire world in existence. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 13:50 – 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 Wednesday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

So she has come to visit us the most often possible in order to save souls. And thanks to those apparitions, many souls have returned to the faith. Through the miracles of Lourdes, for example, many souls have returned to the faith. * 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 * 19:00 – 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 * 05:55 – praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 08:55 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: 2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2 and Gospel: Matt 25:1-13. * 09:15 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 09:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Since our Lord did not have original sin and had not committed any personal sin, He was not bound to undergo the consequences of sin; but He willed to endure those consequences which were not incompatible with His dignity as Son of God. And so He knew suffering and death because He willed to do so.

However, our Lord was never sick because sickness is a beginning of decomposition. Moreover, when He died, His body remained absolutely intact. It was not at all like Lazarus, for example, whose sister Martha told our Lord not to roll away the stone because the body had already begun to smell (Jn. 11:39). Decomposition had therefore already set in for Lazarus. But our Lord in the tomb did not suffer the least decomposition in His body. His divinity always remained united to His body, just as it was united to His soul. His soul went to visit the just of the Old Testament while His body remained in the tomb. And when He willed it, He reunited His soul to His body by His own decision, by His almighty power, because He is God, because He is the almighty Word. * 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 * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Even in His human soul, Jesus knows each one of us, and He knows us in all the details of our lives; nothing escapes Him, whether as Creator or as Savior. And this knowledge inspires in Him an immense love for the souls who look to Him, who give themselves to Him, who do His will. His soul longs intensely to share His glory with them. This is why Jesus is going to be the Judge of every soul. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Clearly, Jesus-God has no need of that knowledge; His own divine knowledge infinitely surpasses the knowledge of the beatific vision. Nevertheless, the Creator of all things willed to assume to His Person a human soul and body, and so He also assumed their faculties of knowledge and understanding and brought them to their greatest possible perfection. * 12:00 – The Angelus * 15:20 – 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.

But even this grace, so ineffably perfect yet nonetheless created, cannot be compared to the infinite wellspring of charity from which it flows, and which is simply the divine life of Jesus in the bosom of the Trinity. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:55 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

It is the grace of divinity itself descending into the humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, anointing it in a way, as the oil which descends upon the head consecrates the one who receives it. The humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ was penetrated by the divinity of the Word of God and thus was He made a priest, that is to say, mediator between God and man. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

He is the Priest because He is the Pontiff, that is to say, one who makes a bridge between Heaven and earth. He is truly the pontiff, the perfect priest, the priest in every sense of the word. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:00 – 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.
