Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus * 06:45 – The SORROWFUL MYSTERIES of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 17:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Everything is in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, with its most beautiful fruit: the Holy Eucharist. We have perhaps too much of a tendency to put the emphasis on the sacrament and leave the sacrifice a little bit in the shadows. But we must not forget that the sacrament is the fruit of the sacrifice. It is on the cross that our Lord is the Bread of Life. And it is by participation in His holy cross that we receive that fruit which is the counterpart of the bad fruit which empoisoned our first parents. The fruit which we receive today from the cross is our Lord Jesus Christ in the holy Eucharist. He gives us life whereas the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil gave death to our first parents. That is the Eucharist. So we must never separate the sacrifice from the sacrament. The sacrament happens within the sacrifice. So love the doctrine of the Church, I beg you; meditate on it so that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass might be the great joy of your life and that it might also obtain for you that inalterable peace. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 20:20 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr. Chad Rippberger'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 Tuesday Prayers of the Association of the Auxilium Christianorum.

So we always have to think of her when we receive those graces. We should always invoke her and especially on the day of confirmation, her who was filled with the Holy Spirit. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 20:00 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Prayers, etc.: • 06:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel followed by the Angelus • 08:10 – The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare • 08:40 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: We are often ashamed to show that we are Catholic because of human respect. In front of people who do not believe, we do not dare to say that we are Catholic, we do not dare to show that we are wearing a cross or that we have a rosary in our pocket. But we must not be afraid, because it is an honor and a grace to be Catholic. We must not be afraid to speak of our faith and to show the signs of our faith. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:00 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

The Holy Spirit is a spirit of life, a spirit which combats the spirit of sin. But the spirit of sin entered the world through original sin and we are all infested with it. It is necessary to receive the sacrament of confirmation in order to fight against all that, in order to remain a Christian, a good Christian man, a good Christian woman, in order not to disobey God. • 19:00 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Followed by The Memorare • 10:45 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Why is it necessary that you take the time to withdraw from the world? In order to reflect on the great gift which God has bestowed upon you in giving you a soul, and above all in order to receive the light of grace. You will reflect on what eternity is compared to time, what the spirit is compared with matter, what God is compared with yourselves, poor creatures. As our Lord said so perfectly to St. Catherine of Siena, you will reflect on Him who is everything, and on her who is nothing. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 20:30 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Followed by The Memorare. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 13:50 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: In order to sanctify ourselves, we have to retire into silence. Remember that our spiritual life is much more important than our temporal life, than our bodily life. Our mind, our heart, our imagination are caught up in the things of this world, in our work, in our family, and so on. Certainly, we must not neglect all that, but we need to put everything in its proper place. And the first place has to be for God. God has to be our first love. And that holds true even for married people, even for people in the world. They, too, need to go on retreats in order to put everything in its proper place. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:00 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Our Lord Himself showed us the example. Even though He had absolutely no need to retire into that solitude, He spent forty days and forty nights in the desert. • 07:30 – Praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by The Memorare • 08:10 – Bishop Strickland on Tidal Wave of Apostasy – Refers to Daniel the Prophet – Dr Taylor Marshall • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 20:15 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

If we truly want to live out the virtue of religion and truly be religious souls, it is in coming before the altar, in uniting ourselves to our Lord, that we are going to do so. It is the most beautiful prayer of all: to offer ourselves with our Lord on the altar. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:20 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
