Our Lord willed that all souls be saved by Him, by His humanity and by His Church, which is the extension of His humanity in time and space. We do not have the right to say, “No, no, there are plenty of souls who can be saved without going through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

* 09:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
“There is no salvation outside our Lord” (cf. Acts 4:12) All those who work for the salvation of souls have to base their activity on this principle of the capital grace of our Lord. A thing done with no relation directly or indirectly to our Lord is vain and useless for salvation.

* 10:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
The sanctifying grace of Jesus is such a unique and abundant source of salvation that it is rightly called by a name proper to our Lord: Gratia capitis, the grace of the leader or of the head — making perfectly clear at the same time that in all salutary action and in all action which concerns the spiritual good, everything ultimately comes from and returns to Jesus Christ alone, the Son of God incarnate.

* 11:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Since God is charity, all that He does can only be charity. And mercy is the summit of charity. A person can give no better expression to his charity than by being merciful. The summit of charity toward our neighbor is to forgive him the wrong he may have done us, to love him in spite of his miseries, in spite of his sins. Obviously, our Lord always lays down the condition of repentance. When He takes away sin, when He gives life back to a soul, it is because that soul opened itself by repentance to receiving that forgiveness. But He is constantly forgiving.
