Prayers, etc.: • 05:30 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 07:00 – The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare • 12:00 – the Angelus • 12:10 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: St. Paul says that we have to complete in our flesh the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ (cf. Col. 1:24). We, too, should have that desire. Oh! it is a desire that will cost us dearly. For if we wish to complete the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will have to suffer with Him, be immolated with Him. It would be too easy to say: “Because I am a Christian, God will bless me and will exempt me from all suffering. I will spend my life without suffering, without sacrifice. Because I really love God, God must love me, and therefore God will not want me to suffer.” That is a failure to understand the mystery of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. If our Lord has shown us the example of redemptive suffering, we should have nearly a longing to suffer with Him, to sacrifice ourselves with Him. • 15:00 – Daily Prayer to Saint Joseph During the Month of March. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 20:15 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Followed by The Memorare. • 12:50 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Throughout the history of the Church, God has sheltered His elect for the time He willed, but He also made them carry the cross. He allowed their life to be a life of sufferings. And all the Apostles died martyrs. I do not know if we, too, will die martyrs, but we always have to be ready to suffer because God asks us to. We are not here below to receive material and temporal blessings from Him, but to save our souls. • 18:00 – praying the the Angelus • 19:40 – 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 – the Angelus • 15:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: By his holiness and by the depth of his insight, the Angelic Doctor in his Summa provides all of the elements we need to make our spiritual life really flourish. If we follow it, we can be absolutely certain of basing our spiritual life on a solid and a stable foundation. Our spiritual life needs to be connected to divine realities. The Summa Theologica is Christocentric. It revolves around our Lord. • 17:15 – Daily Prayer to Saint Joseph During the Month of March. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 18:40 – Fr. Chad Rippberger'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.

Followed by The Memorare • 12:00 – the Angelus • 12:10 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: We should be extremely interested in the four last things, especially since all of our actions here below are preparing our future eternity. It would be insanity to live in indifference or unawareness of these last things. It is the fundamental motive behind the Incarnation, the Redemption: our return to God through Jesus Christ.

Most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen people of Jesus Christ; keep far from us, most loving father, all blight of error and corruption; mercifully assist us from heaven, most mighty defender, in this our conflict with the powers of darkness; and even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the supreme peril of His life, so now defend Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and all adversity. Keep us one and all under thy continual protection, that supported by thy example and assistance, we may be enabled to lead a holy life, die a happy death and come at last to the possession of everlasting blessedness in heaven.
