Roscoe's Story

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

Friday 2024-11-15

Prayers, etc.: * 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 07:15 – praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 07:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Prayer is very simply that ascension of our soul toward its Creator and Redeemer; it is something natural to the simple, upright soul. It takes the habit of sin, which is opposed to that elevation of the soul toward God, for prayer to become a pure formality; it takes the pride of the mind, nourished on fables and sophistry, for man to become ashamed to pray. * 08:30 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:20 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:00 – 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 Friday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

Prayers, etc.: * 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 07:00 – praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare * 10:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: In the prayer of the Pater, our Lord says that the will of God must be done on earth as in Heaven. And He summarizes the whole Sermon on the Mount by saying, “You therefore are to be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt. 5:48). So God is asking us for a very great perfection. He is very demanding for us. And in calling us to that immense charity, He is also giving us the means to accomplish it. Those means He gives to us primarily through prayer. If we wish to be perfect, we have to pray. * 10:10 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:45 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 20:40 – 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 * 06:00 – praying The Angelus * 06:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: One thing only is necessary for the continuation of the Catholic Church: bishops who are fully Catholic, without the least compromise with error, who found Catholic seminaries where young aspirants may be nourished on the milk of true doctrine, placing our Lord Jesus Christ in the center of their minds, of their wills, of their hearts; a lively faith, a profound charity, a boundless devotion will unite them to our Lord; like St. Paul they will ask us to pray for them so that they might advance in the knowledge and the wisdom of the Mysterium Christi, where all the divine treasure is to be found. * 06:50 – praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 10:15 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:40 – 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.

But we also have to believe that it does not happen very often. That is why the Church has to be missionary. We would not need to be missionaries if everybody was receiving grace. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:10 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 19:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

That is why we have to be missionaries.

It is in the service of that Church, who is one, that we have been consecrated in our priesthood. Whatever the cost, we must defend that fundamental truth of our faith. Let us keep fidelity to that faith. * 09:20 – Praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 13:55 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 20:40 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
