Divine Intimacy

1 Divine Intimacyby Father Gabriel of st Mary Magdalen, 2022 BARONIUS Divine Intimacy was intended it to be read in parallel with the pre-Vatican II Roman Rite liturgical calendar. This guide aims to assist readers, especially those who might not be familiar with that calendar, to read the meditations in their proper order. For the purposes of this guide, we use the pre-Vatican II Roman liturgical calendar as found in the 1962 Daily Missal. In addition to the cycle of daily meditations, there are additional meditations for specific feasts.

2 On days when more than one meditation is assigned, the reader is free to choose which one to read. The feast or feria observed on any particular day is indicated in regular text; Sundays are in bold. Simple commemorations are in italics. On days when 3rd class feasts and commemorations fall on days with higher precedence, the former are placed in parentheses. Third-class feasts that according to the decree Cum Sanctissima (Feb. 22, 2020) may not be impeded, are marked by an asterisk (except when these fall on Sundays or higher feasts).

3 Saints titles (Bishop, Confessor, Martyr, etc.) have not been included save for Popes and of the 01 The Octave of the Nativity of Our Lord36 THE OCTAVE OF THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD103 SunJan 02 Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus37 Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus106 MonJan 03 Feria38 Jesus our Mediator108 TueJan 04 Feria39 Jesus the First-Born of All Creatures111 WedJan 05 Feria, St. Telesphorus, Pope (Comm.)40 Jesus the Universal King114 ThuJan 06 The Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ41 The Epiphany of Our Lord116 FriJan 07 Feria357 - 363 Any one of the meditations for the week of the 24th Sunday after Pentecost - 6th after Epiphany1045 - 1063 Sat Jan 08 Saturday of Our Lady357 - 363 Any one of the meditations for the week of the 24th Sunday after Pentecost - 6th after Epiphany1045 - 1063 SunJan 09 First Sunday after Epiphany - Feast of The Holy Family42 FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY, JESUS, MARY.
