* 10:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
We have to be careful not to let ourselves be caught up in a kind of religious sentimentalism. We cannot base our religion on sentiment, but on principles of spirituality which do not come from us. If we have objective principles, then we stay faithful to God in adversity. Unfortunately, we too often judge our spirituality based on our feelings. But prayer is not primarily on the level of the senses. Prayer is on the spiritual level. That God should grant us some sensible satisfactions in our prayer is God's business. He does it to encourage us. But prayer consists in raising our soul toward God and not our eyes, not our arms... Devotion cannot depend on the rhythm of our heartbeat, or else we are unhappy as soon as we don't feel any more fervor. We don't know how to pull ourselves out of it, we complain, and soon we lose the faith, soon we lose everything.
So, today more than ever, we need a piety that rests on solid foundations, such as our Lord gave to us and illustrated through His saints.
