Roscoe's Story

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

Prayers, etc.: * 04:30 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 06:45 – praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare * 07:10 – Praying day 7 of 9, of a Novena to the Immaculate Conception. * 07:20 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Rom 13:11-14 and Gospel: Luke 21:25-33. * 08:50 – praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot. * 11:20 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: A liturgy that is well done, a Mass that is well celebrated with all of the bows, all of the reverences – all that has a meaning. The Church is not trying to give us some kind of a pleasant theatrical performance. The incensing of the priest and the faithful, the bows, the genuflections, every one of those gestures has a profound significance. But some say, why the incense among people? We incense God, we do not incense men. In reality, we are incensing souls sanctified by grace, because they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. And if we incense authorities with more solemnity, it is because men who hold authority are participating in God's authority. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:30 – 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 Thursday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Prayers, etc.: * 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:30 – praying The Angelus, followed by praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 07:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: You see that the liturgy is always making us pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, with our Lord Jesus Christ, in our Lord Jesus Christ. Never would the Church give us a religion without our Lord. For Her, our Lord is everything, He is Her mystical Spouse. Never does She let Herself forget it. That is why our prayers end every time with these words: per Christum Dominum nostrum, through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so we see that we cannot obtain any graces at all outside of our Lord Jesus Christ. * 07:05 – Praying day 6 of 9, of a Novena to the Immaculate Conception. * 07:15 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: 2 Tim 4:1-8 and Gospel: Matt 5:13-19. * 11:30 – praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 20:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Now, alas, the deviations are everywhere. That is why so many of the faithful are dying of suffocation, because no one is giving them these liturgical offices any more. They no longer have the graces to which they have a right and which they need. * 09:10 – praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Take the introits and the graduals, as well. How many profound and moving things in those graduals, those calls upon the mercy, upon the goodness of God, in praise of God! In these prayers of the Church we can always find one of the four ends of the sacrifice of the Mass: latreutic, eucharistic, propitiatory, or impetratory. And we realize that we can bring all of the texts of the liturgy to one or another of those ends. Sometimes it is adoration that predominates, sometimes thanksgiving, sometimes the presentation of our miseries, of our sins, a call to the mercy of God, and then finally asking for graces that we need. * 12:00 – Praying The Angelus * 17:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

The proper always contains a particular lesson for that feast. And the prayers, so short but so beautiful, give us every time a real subject of meditation. Whether it be the collect, the secret or the postcommunion, we are astounded by their depth and by the truths of our faith which the Church is setting before us. * 16:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

We can't start thinking that we are better than other people because we are capable of finding new pathways. On the contrary, let us walk in the pathways that the Church has traced out for us, loving with all our heart that great school which is the liturgy of the Church. * 06:30 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Col 1:9-14, and Gospel Matt 24:15-35. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 13:20 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 17:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:20 – praying 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 * 05:30 – praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 06:30 – praying The Angelus * 08:20 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: We need to go to God by the ways of the Church – they are the surest of all – and not by our own personal ways. It is certainly very good that we express our devotion to God with our whole heart and soul in our meditation and in our personal prayers; but we are going to pray all the better the more we come to live and breathe the piety of the Church. Never could we have a piety as great as that of the Church Herself. The Church is the mystical Spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the songs of the Spouse are inimitable. Gregorian Chant all by itself truly lifts us up toward Heaven, lifts us up toward to God. * 08:30 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Col 1:9-14, and Gospel Matt 24:15-35. * 09:40 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

It is to make us contemplate all of the mysteries of our Lord. Ultimately, it is our Credo which is being presented to us over the course of the year and on which we are called to meditate in a very special way.

The proper texts of the Seasons, prayers, prefaces and so on, are so well chosen, so beautiful that they raise us up, allow us to deepen our faith and increase our charity. * 09:25 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: Ecclus 45:1-6 and Gospel Matt 19:27-29. * 10:50 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:50 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
