Divine Intimacy - Baronius Press

1 Divine Intimacyby Father Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen, 2021 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. 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 coincide with Sundays or 1st / 2nd class feasts, the former are placed in parentheses, even if they are not liturgically observed this year.

2 Third-class feasts that, in accordance with the decree Cum Sanctissima (Feb. 22, 2020) may not be impeded, are followed by an asterisk (except when these fall on Sundays or higher feasts). 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 SatJan 02 Feria in Christmastide37 Jesus Our Mediator106 Sun Jan 03 The Most Holy Name of Jesus38 Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus108 MonJan 04 Feria in Christmastide39 Jesus the First-Born of All Creatures111 TueJan 05 Feria in Christmastide, St. Telesphorus, Pope40 Jesus the Universal King114 WedJan 06 The Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ41 The Epiphany of Our Lord116 ThuJan 07 Feria after Epiphany71 Baptism 198 FriJan 08 Feria after Epiphany72 Confirmation201 Sat Jan 09 Saturday of Our Lady73 Penance204 Sun Jan 10 First Sunday after Epiphany - Feast of The Holy Family42 FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY, JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH 119 MonJan 11 Feria of 1st Sunday after Epiphany, St.
