God knows if the power of the devil is strong today to try to make us fall into sin, to try to turn us away from God, with all the means that men themselves have put in the devil's hands. * 15:15 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 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.

We do not realize what God is. * 12:10 – praying The Angelus * 13:50 – 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.

We know that our final end is going to be eternal happiness or eternal sadness. We can't just vanish. We cannot fall back into nothingness. It is not possible. Once God has created us and given us a soul, it's for eternity. Our soul is immortal. So what do we intend to do with it?

It is the very reason of our existence, that for which God created us. Our end is essentially a spiritual end: “He made us and not we ourselves” (Ps. 99:3). Therefore, God willed an end for us, and that end is essentially spiritual. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 121), 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.

Once again, we cannot hope to be healed, hope to be in a “normal state,” if we do not know that we are sick, that we are deprived of the true order for which we were created.

To my mind, I don't think there has been enough emphasis put on this truth that really conditions our whole spiritual life. It is important to realize it in order to stir up in ourselves the desire to find normalcy as far as we can – that is, to find holiness. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:15 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 109), 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.

Rare are those who only succumb venially if we take Christians as a whole and throughout their whole life. We need to be aware of it, not turn a blind eye to our miseries, not believe that we are the only ones who have temptations, not imagine the saints as having no difficulties or trials — so that we don't let ourselves be troubled, or worry, or panic: which is exactly what the devil wants. At the same time, let us never forget that God will give His grace in the moment of difficulty, of temptation; let us therefore walk straight ahead with confidence, with prudence, vigilance. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed. * 18:00 – The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion and (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.
