* 07:00 – making an Act of Contrition then making an Act of Spiritual Communion, followed by praying Archbishop Vigano’s prayer for USA & President Trump.
* 07:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre:
If we turn to the most Blessed Virgin Mary to ask her what happened, she will tell us of the conversation which she had with the angel Gabriel when he appeared. She will tell us that His name is Jesus because He came to save Israel and all nations.

And if we ask St. Joseph, he will tell us, “I hesitated. I wondered how it was possible that Mary was bearing a child and I wanted to step away, but an angel came to tell me: 'Do not be afraid, Joseph, the child which she carries is come through the operation of the Holy Spirit, and you will call His name Jesus.'” It was the custom among the Jews for the father to give the name. That is why it is St. Joseph who gave the name to Jesus. And the angel goes on, “because it is He who will save Israel” (cf. Mt. 1:20-21).

So, if we ask the most Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and the shepherds, they will tell us, “Here is the Savior of Israel and of all nations.” So our first introduction to Jesus is under that essential aspect.
