Therefore we have two profound connections with God: a relation both as a creature and as a redeemed creature, which of course implies that we are sinners. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:20 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 138), 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.

Otherwise, we are tired before we start. We cannot compare time and eternity. Eternity is not a time, it is something else: fortunately for the elect!

...Eternity is above time. There is no time in eternity. Eternity is like a point, an instant which lasts forever. It is a continual present. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 128), 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 very difficult, obviously. For us, there is always a past, a present and a future. So how can we conceive of eternity, that instant which always is? That seems inconceivable. And yet it is so. We are always trying to put God inside a time, for example with reference to Creation. If Creation had a beginning, it would seem that something began in God. Well no, that is false. Nothing began in God. He is always the same. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 123), 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.
