* 11:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
To the extent that we do not adore God, to the extent that we do not fulfill His commandments, we are going against the good of other people. We are stealing the goods of our neighbor, whether it be their honor, their reputation, their virtues, their wealth. This theft is a form of selfishness: we take for ourselves the goods of our neighbor. We want to expropriate the neighbor from his goods and take them for ourselves. Ever since original sin it is a tendency which is so human that we have to examine ourselves constantly to see whether there is not some selfishness in our motives for acting.

* 09:50 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Just as the intelligence is made for truth, the will is made for the good. The good is truth put into action, in other words, charity: God is truth and charity; they are one and the same thing. That is why His commandments could only be charity. “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets” (Mt. 22:40) It is metaphysically impossible that God command us anything except to love Him and to love one another. Fulfilling this sweet duty is where we are meant to find happiness.

* 10:00 – Today's Morning Devotion (Psalm 89 ) found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Canticle of Zacharius (Lk 1:68-79).
* 10:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: God willed to leave us free. He did not have to do it, but He gave us freedom. That is moreover the hallmark of a spiritual nature. By the very fact that God gave man a mind, He created Him free, because He created him intelligent. The intelligence is made in order to know things, and so that man might then will those things freely in order to earn merit. It is the hallmark of the intelligence and the will to be free, but freedom is given to man in order to follow laws, to follow paths traced out by grace.
