It is a creation of the charity of God, one more proof that God loves us and that He loves us infinitely, for He made the Church that He might give us Himself, that He might continue Himself across the ages. He gave Himself to His Spouse, to the Church, and He gave Himself in reality. He gave His body, His blood, His soul and His divinity. He confided them to the Church in order to continue that work of Redemption, to continue His Calvary, His sacrifice. * 12:00 – praying The Angelus * 17:30 – 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.

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.
