Roscoe's Story

This is my story and I'm stick'n to it.

Prayers, etc.: * 04:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus. * 06:20 – praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Traditional Holy Rosary in English, followed by the Memorare. * 06:40 – Readings from today's Mass include – Lesson: Acts 8:14-17 and Gospel John 10:1-10 * 08:30 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 08:45 – Today's Morning Devotion Psalm 99 as found in Benedictus Magazine * 09:50 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Speaking precisely, it can seem strange and paradoxical to qualify Protestantism as being naturalism. Nonetheless, the excessively nihilistic look that the Protestant casts onto himself results in a practical naturalism: by dint of depreciating nature and exalting the force of faith alone, one relegates divine grace and the supernatural order to the domain of abstractions. For the Protestants, grace does not operate a true interior renewal; baptism is not the restoring of a habitual supernatural state; it is only an act of faith in Jesus Christ, who justifies and saves.

...The result of Protestantism will be that men will attach them-selves more to the goods of this world and will forget the eternal goods. If Puritanism comes to exercise an exterior supervision over public morality, it will not impregnate men’s hearts with the truly Christian spirit, which is a supernatural spirit, called primacy of the spiritual. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 14:30 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 111), 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. 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 Tuesday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

It is up to all of you to contribute to this, by humbly receiving what the Church has transmitted to us, right up to the eve of Vatican II, through the words of the popes, and what I pass on to you in my turn. It is this steadfast doctrine of the Church that I have received without any mental reservation; that is what I impart to you without reserve: quam sine fictione didici, sine invidia communico. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 14:40 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 110), 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.

What will be the end of all the present-day bewilderments? It is not a question so much of wars, of atomic or ecologic catastrophes, but above all of the revolution on the outside and the inside of the Church, of the apostasy, in short, which is winning over entire peoples, formerly Catholic, and even the hierarchy of the Church right up to its summit. Rome seems to be submerged in a complete blindness; the Rome of all times is reduced to silence, paralyzed by the other Rome, the liberal Rome that occupies it. The sources of divine grace and faith are drying up, and the veins of the Church are coursing everywhere in her the mortal poison of naturalism. * 07:30 – Readings from today's Mass include – Lesson: Eccli 44:16-27; 45:3-20 and Gospel Matt 25:14-23 * 07:45 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump. * 08:00 – Today's Morning Devotion Psalm 98 as found in Benedictus Magazine * 09:00 – Praying Day 8 of 9 of the PENTECOST NOVENA 2025, May 30-June 7, for Pope Leo XIV * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 16:15 – praying the Nicene Creed in English. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 138), 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.
