Prayers, etc.: * 04:30 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 06:45 – praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Traditional Holy Rosary in English, followed by the Memorare * 07:15 – praying The Traditional Stations of the Cross * 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. * 09:00 – Today's Morning Devotion (Psalm 147) as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Canticle of Zacharius (Lk 1:68-79). * 11:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: God made that extraordinary decision, that inconceivable decision, to say, “It is I who will bear the sins of men. It is I who will bear their sins. I am going to become man, I am going to become one of them, I am going to die to reestablish justice toward My Father. And all those who join Me will be saved; those who refuse will be damned.”

The Word of God therefore became incarnate because of the sin of man, to make reparation for it and thereby give a new birth to the divine life in souls, so that they might be once again agreeable to God, glorify Him in this world and for eternity. So Jesus, in His merciful love, willed to take on Himself in a certain way the sins of humanity and to offer Himself in a sacrifice of redemption and propitiation to His Father, to restore the life of the Holy Spirit, the life of charity, in souls, by a participation in His own life, now the only source of life and salvation for men.

The sacrifice of Calvary thus appears as the light which shines in the darkness, as the one fountain of life in the midst of the desert. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:20 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 150), 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 Friday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Even if he has no apostolate to perform for one reason or another, if he is sick or in a country where unfortunately the apostolate is not very fruitful, well then, he has the consolation of having offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and of having spread graces in the measure willed by God. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 127), 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.

The treatise on justification in theology shows that justification, meaning reception of grace, occurs based on the following principle: “All that is received, is received according to the capacity,” and therefore according to the dispositions, “of the one receiving it.” * 10:10 – Today's Morning Devotion (Psalm 66) as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Canticle of Zacharius (Lk 1:68-79). * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 125), 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.

He placed Himself in their hands, in a certain way, in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and in the sacrament of the Eucharist, but also in the other sacraments because the sacraments are the channel of His own life.
