• 15:30 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: “The gift of understanding perfects the virtue of faith. By the virtue of faith, we believe what God has taught us, but the gift of understanding teaches us to see all things in the way God sees them.
“Ah, if we truly had that gift of understanding! We ought to wish to see everything here below, to see what we are, to see what we should do, in the way God sees it.
“The word understanding, intellectus, etymologically intus legere, means to read inside of things. The gift of understanding is what makes us see God, insofar as we are able. We do not have the beatific vision, of course, but we have to try to comprehend better the things of God. By the gift of understanding, the Holy Spirit helps us to comprehend them better and consequently to act more as children of God.
“A man who turns away from the world, from material cares, from cares of the body is going to see God more readily, contemplate Him more easily. The saints showed us this by the example of their life. They came near to God, they saw Him to a certain degree because they were detached from the world.”
