The holiness of the Church is seen in these Christian families where everyone gathers to pray in the morning or the evening, where they go to Mass together, where they pray to the Lord, where they even recite the rosary as a family. Those are clear manifestations of holiness which are produced by our Lord Jesus Christ, since He is the one who is the source of all those graces. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 14:50 – Daily Prayer to Saint Joseph During the Month of March. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:00 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Followed by The Memorare • 08:15 – Meditation for today from St. Josemaria Escriva : “Our Lord knows our limitations, our individualism and our ambition. He knows it is difficult for us to forget ourselves and give ourselves to others. He knows very well what it feels like not to find love and to discover that those who say they follow him only do so in a half-hearted way. Just think of those striking scenes, described to us by the evangelists, in which we see the Apostles full of worldly ambitions and merely human plans. Yet Jesus has chosen them; he keeps them close to him and entrusts them with the mission he has received from his Father. He has called us too... ” from Christ is Passing By – no. 15 • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:15 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
