Divine Intimacyby Father Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.Calendar 2021The 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 commemorationscoincide with Sundays or 1st / 2nd class feasts, the former are placed in parentheses,even if they are not liturgically observed this year. Third-class feasts that, in accordancewith the decree “Cum Sanctissima” (Feb. 22, 2020) may not be impeded, are followedby an asterisk (except when these fall on Sundays or higher feasts).Saints’ titles (Bishop, Confessor, Martyr, etc.) have not been included save for Popesand Apostles.BARONIUS PRESSwww.baroniuspress.com
