It takes time for an inquiry into the truth. To have a full picture of the truths accessible by reason, we have to use the knowledge of those who have gone before us. On that path to learning truths of the natural order in an ever more perfect way, there are always hypotheses, there are always disagreements, among even philosophers themselves. But by faith, truths are clear. They are revealed by God, contained in the Gospel and in Tradition, and taught by the magisterium. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 17:25 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 119), 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.
