CITY OF GOD IN EXILE Feria in Time after Pentecost 2030-10-22 - Time after Pentecost - Feria - green PLAIN-LANGUAGE GUIDE FOR TODAY Feria: a weekday without a higher feast of its own; its prayers usually follow the current liturgical season. Real Presence: the Catholic teaching that Jesus Christ Himself is truly and substantially present in the consecrated Eucharist, not merely represented by a symbol. Holy Sacrifice: the Mass, in which Christ's one sacrifice on Calvary is made sacramentally present and offered to the Father. TODAY IN THE ROMAN YEAR The manner in which a Catholic approaches the altar teaches what he believes about God, sacrifice, sin, grace, and the Real Presence. Reverence is therefore not decoration, and invented worship is never spiritually neutral. Renew one act of faith in the Holy Sacrifice and pray for souls whose belief has been weakened by irreverence. Adore the Holy Ghost as the giver of every heavenly gift and approach Our Lady as His wholly dependent and faithful Spouse. Invoke the Holy Ghost, ask through Our Lady for all the graces needed today, and resolve to cooperate with them faithfully. "To Mary, His faithful Spouse, God the Holy Ghost has communicated His unspeakable gifts; and He has chosen her to be the dispensatrix of all He possesses, in such sort that she distributes to whom she wills, as much as she wills, as she wills, and when she wills, all His gifts and graces." St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, no. 25 God alone is the source and sovereign giver of grace. Every grace comes from the merits of Jesus Christ and is applied by the Holy Ghost; Mary possesses no divinity and acts with no power independent of God. Her office as dispensatrix is the office He freely communicated to His faithful creature and Mother of the Redeemer. This truth should produce neither presumption nor passivity. Ask through Our Lady for every grace required to keep the commandments, receive the sacraments worthily, resist temptation, fulfill your state of life, make reparation, and persevere to death. Then cooperate promptly with what God gives. PRACTICE Show reverence for the Holy Sacrifice in thought, word, and conduct, and pray for souls misled by false worship. QUOTE OF THE DAY "Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer." Holy Scripture, Romans 12:12, Original Douay-Rheims ROMAN MARTYROLOGY - October 22 At Jerusalem, the blessed bishop Mark, a celebrated and learned man, who was the first Gentile that governed the chuch of Jerusalem. His brief episcopate was rewarded by the palm of martyrdom, under the emperor Antoninus. — At Adrianople, in Thrace, the birthday of the holy martyrs Philip, bishop, Severus, priest, Eusebius, and Hermes, who, after being imprisoned and scourged, were burned alive, in the time of Julian the Apostate. — Also, the holy martyrs Alexander, bishop, Heracilus, soldier, and their companions. — At Fermo, in the Marches, St. Philip, bishop and martyr. — At Huesca, in Spain, the holy virgins Nunilo and Alodia, sisters, who endured martyrdom by being condemned to capital punishment by the Saracens for the confession of the faith. — At Cologne, St. Cordula, one of the companions of St. Ursula, who, being terrified at the torments and slaughter of the other virgins, hid herself, but soon repenting, came forward the next day, and last of all received the crown of martyrdom. — At Hierapolis, in Phrygia, St. Abercius, bishop, who flourished under the emperor Marcus Antoninus. — At Rouen, St. Melanius, bishop, who was ordained by pope St. Stephen, and sent thither to preach the Gospel. — In Tuscany, St. Donatus, of Scotland, bishop of Fiesoli. — At Verona, St. Verecundus, bishop and confessor. — At Jerusalem, St. Mary Salome, who, as we read in the Gospel, piously attended to the burial of our Lord. THE PILGRIM'S SPIRITUAL CONFERENCE The Sacraments Are Instruments of Christ The Church places this truth before you today: The sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ to give grace; they are not symbols invented by the community. Do not hurry past it as though doctrine belonged only to books and controversies. A revealed truth is also a light by which the soul must judge its loyalties, its fears, its habits, and the duties immediately before it. Because Christ instituted the sacraments, the Church must guard their matter, form, minister, and intention with holy fear. The grace to be practiced is Faithful obedience to the grace of the present day, drawn from the daily rule of fidelity. Ask God for more than the natural appearance of this virtue. Temperament may make an action seem easy for a time, but supernatural virtue remains faithful because God is worthy of obedience, even when feeling offers no assistance and no one notices the cost. Practice grateful dependence by joining generous prayer to vigilant and complete cooperation with grace. There is also an enemy to recognize: Resist sacramental casualness, especially the idea that good intention can repair invalid rites or invented forms. Do not study this danger only in other people. Look quietly for the door by which it seeks entrance into your own soul - perhaps through delay, curiosity, resentment, human respect, attachment to comfort, or the desire to control the outcome. Dying to self today means choosing faithful obedience to the grace of the present day when pride, comfort, fear, resentment, or human respect asks for control. Do the faithful act and entrust its fruit to divine Providence, God's wise and loving governance of all things. Place effort and outcome into Our Lady's hands so that the whole offering may be presented to her Divine Son. Confidence in God is not passivity: obey, pray, work, and accept that visible success, consolation, or immediate relief may not be given. God remains faithful when the duty is hidden and the outcome uncertain. Therefore, perform the duty that belongs to you, use the lawful means God has provided, and then surrender the fruit. When sensible help is absent, continue trusting the divine Giver and using the means of grace He has established. Seek grace before prayer, duties, decisions, conversations, temptations, and sacrifices, then act with diligence rather than presumption. The Church's witness: this truth manifests the Church's mark of holy; the witness placed beside it is St. Thomas Aquinas. Your resolution before God: Show reverence for the Holy Sacrifice in thought, word, and conduct, and pray for souls misled by false worship. Carry this word: False worship wounds souls because worship forms belief. THE PILGRIM'S MIRROR "Trust not in thine own cunning, neither in the cunning or policy of any creature living, but rather in the grace of God, which helpeth meek persons." Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Book I, chapter 7, p. 16 Natural ability cannot sanctify a soul. Work diligently, but place confidence in grace and entrust the outcome into Our Lady's hands for her Divine Son. Self-reliance often disguises itself as responsibility. The difference appears when plans fail: responsibility continues the duty peacefully, while self-reliance becomes anxious, harsh, or defeated because it secretly believed everything depended upon itself. Ask for help before beginning, and surrender the fruit when you have done what you can. Today's Practice: Begin a difficult duty with a Hail Mary and finish it without self-congratulation. DAILY EXAMEN Thank God for the graces given through Our Lady and repent of every grace resisted, neglected, or used carelessly. - For what grace or mercy should I thank God today? - What sin, fault, neglected duty, or resistance to grace must I confess? - What definite amendment will I carry into tomorrow? PRAYER O Lord, give me holy fear before Thy altar. Preserve me from casualness, invention, and every worship that weakens faith in Thy sacrifice. DAILY RULE FOR THE PILGRIM A brief rule to keep every day: Begin with morning prayer Adore the Blessed Trinity and offer the whole day to Jesus through Mary before other duties claim the mind. Keep the Angelus Pause morning, noon, and evening to remember the Incarnation. Seek Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament Attend Holy Mass when duty permits; otherwise make a Spiritual Communion and renew desire for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Return to Jesus and Mary Use frequent holy aspirations during work, waiting, suffering, and temptation. Pray the Rosary Keep the mysteries of Christ before the mind with Our Lady and learn to imitate what they contain. End with night prayer and examen Give thanks, confess faults, forgive injuries, make a practical amendment, and entrust the night to Our Lady.

VERDAD DE LA FE The Sacraments Are Instruments of Christ The sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ to give grace; they are not symbols invented by the community. Nota de la Iglesia: Holy Defensor: St. Thomas Aquinas Defensa católica: Because Christ instituted the sacraments, the Church must guard their matter, form, minister, and intention with holy fear. Error que resistir: Resist sacramental casualness, especially the idea that good intention can repair invalid rites or invented forms. VIRTUD QUE PRACTICAR Obediencia fiel a la gracia del día presente. La virtud de hoy es Obediencia fiel a la gracia del día presente.. No debe quedar como un buen pensamiento: la gracia ha de entrar en los deberes reales del día, en la oración, la vida familiar, el trabajo, la corrección necesaria, el silencio paciente y la resistencia a la tentación. La virtud no es solamente una disposición natural o un temperamento agradable. La virtud católica ordena el alma y sus actos hacia Dios; está gobernada por la verdad, fortalecida por la gracia, purificada por el arrepentimiento y perfeccionada por la caridad. No espere una ocasión extraordinaria. Escoja un deber ordinario en el que esta virtud sea difícil y cúmplalo deliberadamente por Dios. - ¿Dónde será probada esta virtud en mis deberes reales de hoy? - ¿Qué mera apariencia natural podría confundir con la virtud misma? - ¿Qué acto concreto realizaré antes de la noche? ORACIÓN O Lord, give me holy fear before Thy altar. Preserve me from casualness, invention, and every worship that weakens faith in Thy sacrifice. REGLA DIARIA DEL PEREGRINO Una regla breve para guardar cada día: Comenzar con la oración de la mañana Reconozca a Dios y ofrézcale el día antes de atender otras obligaciones. Guardar el Ángelus Deténgase por la mañana, al mediodía y por la tarde para recordar la Encarnación. Hacer una comunión espiritual Renueve el deseo de Nuestro Señor en el Santísimo Sacramento sin tratar el exilio como algo normal. Rezar el Rosario Mantenga ante la mente los misterios de Cristo con Nuestra Señora. Volver a Dios con jaculatorias Use una breve aspiración santa durante el trabajo, la espera, el sufrimiento o la tentación. Terminar con oración nocturna y examen Dé gracias, confiese las faltas, perdone las ofensas y haga un propósito concreto. EXAMEN DIARIO - ¿Por qué gracia o misericordia debo dar gracias a Dios hoy? - ¿Qué pecado, falta, deber descuidado o resistencia a la gracia debo confesar? - ¿Qué propósito concreto llevaré a mañana?
