That is the life we should already be living here below. Suddenly we sense the call of God. So now, yes or no: Do we have the will to answer? We have to go forward.

Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 07:10 – The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare • 07:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The reason so many people hesitate to go on retreat is that they are afraid of having that light shed on their soul and being obliged to correct something in themselves. It's a sad thing. So they live a life of superficiality, a life of distraction, a life of noise, to avoid coming face to face with themselves. The voice of God begins to speak the minute we are alone with our conscience. And there are souls who do not want to hear that voice because it is going to tell them something they might be doing wrong... They prefer to live in a state of distraction, in the constant commotion of the world. • 07:45 – If I Had a Dollar For Every Catholic Who Used to Be in Baltimore – Canon212 • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:45 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Prayers, etc.: • 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel • 06:00 – the Angelus • 08:00 – The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Followed by The Memorare • 10:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: It is our Lord Jesus Christ Himself who said it: the shepherd goes before his sheep, he leads them. And because he is a true shepherd, the sheep hear his voice and recognize his voice and they follow him... It is good to read and reread the Gospel in order to see what advice our Lord gave to His Apostles in their apostolate and to see His own manner of acting. That is very important for the fruits of the apostolate. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:50 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Followed by The Memorare • 12:00 – the Angelus • 16:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: The Gospel is far from containing only exhortations to generosity and love. No one will enter the Kingdom if he has not also demonstrated certain qualities of mind and understanding. To make an inventory of the resources at our disposal, to organize them and to put them to work with moderation, with order, is to bring our cooperation to the work of Providence. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:30 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

St. Thomas says that the major sin against prudence is this fact of not carrying out what one judges good to do. It is the defect against the execution of judgment, whether by inconstancy or by neglect. Neglect differs from inconstancy by the fact that the inconstant man starts thinking of something else and abandons his resolution; the negligent man lacks promptness in execution. He puts off carrying out the action and finally does nothing at all. • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:45 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

Our soul holds counsel to study the question, reaches a decision and then carries it out. The defect opposed to counsel is precipitation. We don't take the time to consider how we ought to act. So we launch into action before even reflecting. Precipitation leads to rashness. We think we know instinctively what we ought to do without needing to take counsel. • 12:00 – the Angelus • 18:00 – the Angelus • 19:55 – The hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
