* 10:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The liturgy is the public prayer of the Church. That prayer was confided to the Apostles by our Lord and is handed down to us by the Church. That is why we thank the Church for having given us that beautiful liturgy which She places on the lips of all the Christians in the whole world.
The liturgy, this magnificent liturgy of the Church, which is truly a product of the Holy Ghost, expresses the sentiments we ought to have toward God: be they sentiments of contrition, or of hope, or of affection and love, or else of praise. Over the course of the Divine Office and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Church brings us through different sentiments depending on the various prayers, and they are all helping to unite us to God.

* 08:20 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Every spirit, whether human or angelic, is ordained toward God by its spiritual nature, by its intelligence and its will, and gratuitously ordained by grace to enter into a participation of the eternal beatitude of the Holy Trinity.
So every spirit is primarily religious, and its religious life finds expression in prayer: vocal, mental, and spiritual.

* 08:10 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The external acts of the virtue of religion, like vocal prayer, are done for the internal acts.
We pray, we recite prayers to express what we are thinking, and to produce in ourselves what we are saying. What matters is the interior religion, contrary to the Pharisees. One of our resolutions should be to live the prayer we are saying. Let us not be mindless in our prayer, daydreamers all the time, automatons.

* 10:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Vocal prayer is what we can do just ourselves, like the recitation of the rosary or of various prayers which we can say at home. It can be individual or in community. It moves us to interior devotion. It renders to God His due, because the body takes part, as well. It is normal that the body participate in prayer. Vocal prayer is in a way the overflowing of devotion, with devotion being the interior aspect, vocal prayer being the external aspect. So vocal prayer can and should increase our devotion.

* 09:10 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
To understand the place of prayer in the economy of salvation, we have to know that God foresees not only the actions He wants us to carry out, but He also determines the causes by which they are to be produced, causes which include our own activity but also our prayers. Nothing escapes Him, obviously, not a single one of our thoughts, not a single one of our acts. All of that enters the Providence of God. Thus, in the body of the article, St. Thomas explains, “We pray, not that we may change the Divine disposition, but that we may impetrate that which God has disposed to be fulfilled by our prayers, in other words 'that by asking, men may deserve to receive what Almighty God from eternity has disposed to give.'”
