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.
