Divine Intimacyby Father Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.Calendar 2022The Divine Intimacy was intended it to be read in parallel with the pre-Vatican IIRoman Rite liturgical calendar. This guide aims to assist readers, especially those whomight 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 calendaras 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 onemeditation is assigned, the reader is free to choose which one to read. The feast or feriaobserved on any particular day is indicated in regular text; Sundays are in bold. Simplecommemorations are in italics. On days when 3rd class feasts and commemorationsfall on days with higher precedence, the former are placed in parentheses. Third-classfeasts that according to the decree “Cum Sanctissima” (Feb. 22, 2020) may not beimpeded, are marked by an asterisk (except when these fall on Sundays or higherfeasts).Saints’ titles (Bishop, Confessor, Martyr, etc.) have not been included save for Popesand Apostles.BARONIUS PRESSwww.baroniuspress.com
