It is the lot of all men. As the Imitation of Christ says so well, everyone has sufferings, but there is a great difference between those who suffer as Christians, in union with our Lord, to win Heaven, to save souls, to make reparation for their sins, and then those who revolt against suffering. Let us wholeheartedly accept difficulties, trials, contradictions, in union with our Lord, and then joy will fill our heart. The more we practice the beatitudes, the more we will accept all of those crosses after the example of our Lord, and the more we will be happy, the more joy will fill our soul. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:15 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:30 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

She does not settle merely for speaking of the humble, of those who are poor, of those who fear God, but she is a shining example of these qualities throughout her life. The stable of Bethlehem is the expression of the beatitude of poverty. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:10 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:00 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

We have to be so afraid of causing pain to our Lord, so afraid of turning away from Him and being separated from Him, that we avoid sin at all cost, not only mortal sin but venial sin as well.

The more we teach a soul about the grandeur and the perfection of God, the more that soul acquires a longing to love and to serve God, and the more it is touched by fear: it realizes more and more that to go against the will of God is something terrible. * 13:30 – praying The Angelus * 14:40 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:35 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Ask the Virgin Mary, our kind mother in Heaven, to come to your help and you will see how the rosary is a powerful prayer. In apparitions, the most Blessed Virgin has always come with her rosary in her hand, to show us how attached she is to that prayer. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:05 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 19:35 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

We cannot base our religion on sentiment, but on principles of spirituality which do not come from us. If we have objective principles, then we stay faithful to God in adversity. Unfortunately, we too often judge our spirituality based on our feelings. But prayer is not primarily on the level of the senses. Prayer is on the spiritual level. That God should grant us some sensible satisfactions in our prayer is God's business. He does it to encourage us. But prayer consists in raising our soul toward God and not our eyes, not our arms... Devotion cannot depend on the rhythm of our heartbeat, or else we are unhappy as soon as we don't feel any more fervor. We don't know how to pull ourselves out of it, we complain, and soon we lose the faith, soon we lose everything. So, today more than ever, we need a piety that rests on solid foundations, such as our Lord gave to us and illustrated through His saints. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 15:45 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 19:30 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
