Contemplation is open to all souls who desire to know God, who want to live in the awareness that God is in them. “If you love Me,” says our Lord, “We will come and We will make Our abode in you.” Do you realize that our Lord has come into you, that God has come into you, and that He dwells in you? In a way, that recognition of the presence of God in you and in all things is the very definition of contemplation. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 14:10 – praying the Nicene Creed * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 112), 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.

To the degree that our Lord wills to reveal His own mystery to us, to that degree also does He place the cross on our shoulders. And therefore many souls hesitate to give themselves completely to our Lord because there is a kind of fear of perfection, a fear of holiness. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 13:30 – praying the Nicene Creed * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 120), 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.

There is only one kind of spiritual life, one way to unite ourselves to God, one kind of justification, only one love of souls, because there is only one Jesus Christ, exemplary cause and model of every man who comes into this world. ‘He chose us in Himself before the beginning of the world so that we might be holy’ (Eph.1:4). To become other Christs, not on the outside but on the inside, to model our souls on His: there is the ideal for every soul on this earth. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 14:30 – praying the Nicene Creed * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 109), 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.
