And then, sadly, there are others who refuse. It is an obvious fact in the Gospel. There are souls who benefit from the mercy which God grants them, and then there are those who resist it. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 113), 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.

Only God could raise again His own body, which He had taken to become incarnate and dwell among us.

The Resurrection of our Lord therefore manifests the almighty power of God. Today we are affirming with the Church of all time that Jesus rose again with the body with which He was crucified. May His glorious wounds maintain us in that faith! * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – 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.

It is actually a little astonishing that the Church would use such an expression in Her liturgy. Yet the Church, inspired by God, sees that charity was reestablished after the sin of our first parents, and that graces were poured over us in abundance.

The fact that God should have willed that we come into His intimacy is a grace. That is exactly what the word means, a gratuitous gift: a tremendous, unbelievable grace, one to which we had absolutely no claim. We could perhaps be tempted to say, “But why did God love us so much? He should have just left us with our poor human nature. Why do we need to enter the very nature of God, to be so close to God? It gives us even heavier duties.”

Oh yes, it does indeed give us heavier duties. It completely transforms our spirituality, our interior life. We must not see things as we would see them if we had only our human nature. Knowing that we are called to know God directly, to live of Him, to live in Him, we need to have in our hearts a great desire for God. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 13:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 140), 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.

It is I who will bear their sins. I am going to become man, I am going to become one of them, I am going to die to reestablish justice toward My Father. And all those who join Me will be saved; those who refuse will be damned.”

The Word of God therefore became incarnate because of the sin of man, to make reparation for it and thereby give a new birth to the divine life in souls, so that they might be once again agreeable to God, glorify Him in this world and for eternity. So Jesus, in His merciful love, willed to take on Himself in a certain way the sins of humanity and to offer Himself in a sacrifice of redemption and propitiation to His Father, to restore the life of the Holy Spirit, the life of charity, in souls, by a participation in His own life, now the only source of life and salvation for men.

The sacrifice of Calvary thus appears as the light which shines in the darkness, as the one fountain of life in the midst of the desert. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:20 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 150), 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.

Even if he has no apostolate to perform for one reason or another, if he is sick or in a country where unfortunately the apostolate is not very fruitful, well then, he has the consolation of having offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and of having spread graces in the measure willed by God. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:00 – 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.

The treatise on justification in theology shows that justification, meaning reception of grace, occurs based on the following principle: “All that is received, is received according to the capacity,” and therefore according to the dispositions, “of the one receiving it.” * 10:10 – Today's Morning Devotion (Psalm 66) as found in Benedictus Magazine, followed by the Canticle of Zacharius (Lk 1:68-79). * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 125), 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.
