It is the Sacrament of our Faith, first of all, the mysterium fidei — mysterium fidei — it is the mystery of our Faith—I would say the test, the test of our Faith. It is thus that true Catholics, that true Christians are recognized—if they have a profound, a real, an efficacious faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. It is thus that the Faith of Christians is recognized. Consequently this Sacrament is truly the mystery of our faith. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 17:35 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed * 18:00 – praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 111), 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 by this Cross that we shall go to Heaven, there is no other road, there is no other way of salvation but the Cross of Jesus, Who is the Royal Way of Heaven, Via Regalis Crucis et Caeli!

And, thus, today we celebrate His Resurrection, the consequence of the Victory of Our Lord. We are assured that we ourselves will one day have the joy of the resurrection, if however we follow Our Lord, if we love Him, as did the Blessed Virgin Mary as she stood at the foot of the Cross. This phrase which I am going to cite for you is located in the Office of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, on the day of the feast: Dilectus meus candidus et rubiscundus totus spirat amorem, “my Beloved, pure and at the same time rose (by the Blood which flows) in His entirety breathes forth love,” caput inclinatum, “His Head inclined,” manus expensae, “His Hands extended,” pectus apertum, “His Heart opened.”

Yes, let us contemplate Our Lord Jesus Christ upon His Cross just as the Blessed Virgin Mary did, and let us ask Our Lord to give us this love. But in order to have this love, we must sacrifice, we must struggle. Every aspect of the Cross proves it to us. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus. * 18:00 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by praying The Angelus, followed by today's Evening Devotion, (Psalm 129), 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 takes time for an inquiry into the truth. To have a full picture of the truths accessible by reason, we have to use the knowledge of those who have gone before us. On that path to learning truths of the natural order in an ever more perfect way, there are always hypotheses, there are always disagreements, among even philosophers themselves.
