You see it in the gestures, the inclinations, the genuflections, the great respect we have for God in the liturgy; by the incensing, the profound bows, and the respect we have for others. That ought to be habitual, to think that men have a soul which is made in the image of God and which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. It can't be only in the liturgy that we respect the people around us. It needs to penetrate our whole life and help us acquire that humility with regard to other people. * 09:20 – praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 16:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 18:50 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.

The Church is not trying to give us some kind of a pleasant theatrical performance. The incensing of the priest and the faithful, the bows, the genuflections, every one of those gestures has a profound significance. But some say, why the incense among people? We incense God, we do not incense men. In reality, we are incensing souls sanctified by grace, because they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. And if we incense authorities with more solemnity, it is because men who hold authority are participating in God's authority. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – 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.

Prayers, etc.: * 05:00 – Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel * 06:30 – praying The Angelus, followed by praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, followed by the Memorare. * 07:00 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: You see that the liturgy is always making us pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, with our Lord Jesus Christ, in our Lord Jesus Christ. Never would the Church give us a religion without our Lord. For Her, our Lord is everything, He is Her mystical Spouse. Never does She let Herself forget it. That is why our prayers end every time with these words: per Christum Dominum nostrum, through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so we see that we cannot obtain any graces at all outside of our Lord Jesus Christ. * 07:05 – Praying day 6 of 9, of a Novena to the Immaculate Conception. * 07:15 – Readings from today's Mass include – Epistle: 2 Tim 4:1-8 and Gospel: Matt 5:13-19. * 11:30 – praying to Atone for Rome's 2025 Jubilee Mascot. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 14:30 – prayerfully reading The Athanasian Creed, followed by today's Daily Meditation found in Benedictus Magazine. * 18:00 – praying The Angelus * 20:20 – praying the hour of Compline for tonight according to the Traditional Pre-Vatican II Divine Office, followed by Fr.
