My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Rectum fac, etsi via ardua sit — “Do what is right, even when the path is difficult.”
There is a more idiomatic Latin translation, but I didn't want to confuse beginners:
Rectum sequere, etsi arduum — “Follow what is right, however arduous it may be.”

ALT Consecration: Christ, Jesus, I acknowledge Thee as King of the universe! All that has been made has been created for Thee. Make full use of Thy rights over me. I renew the promises I made in Baptism when I renounced Satan and all his pomps and works. I promise to live a good Christian life. Especially, I undertake to help, to the extent of my means, to secure the triumph of the rights of God and of Thy Church. Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee my poor efforts so that all hearts may acknowledge Thy sacred Royalty and the Kingdom of Thy peace may be established throughout the entire universe. Amen.

I unite myself with every Mass which at this time is being offered throughout the world. I place them in the hands of Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, that she may obtain by this presentation of the Blood of Christ to the most Holy Trinity, the deliverance of souls from purgatory, relief tor the sick and dying, the conversion of infidels and sinners, and the perseverance of all the faithful.
Amen

🌹St. Daria, Ora pro nobis🌹
Feast Day - Oct. 25
Chrysanthus was an Egyptian, son of a Patrician, Polemius. He was brought to Rome from Alexandria during the reign of Numerian, and despite the objections of his father, who had brought him to Rome, was baptized by a priest named Carpophorus. Chrysanthus refused is father's attempts to get him married, finally married Daria, a Greek and a priestess of Minerva, converted her, and convinced her to live with him in chastity. When they converted a number of Romans, Chrysanthus was denounced as a Christian to Claudius, the tribune. Chrysanthus' attitude under torture so impressed Claudius that he and his wife, Hilaria, two sons, and seventy of his soldiers became Christians, whereupon the Emperor had them all killed. Daria was sent to a brothel, where she was defended by a lion, brought before Numerian, who ordered her execution, and was stoned and then buried alive. When several followers of Daria and Chrysanthus were found praying at their crypt, among them Diodorus, a priest, and Marianus, a deacon, they were all entombed alive. Their feast day is October 25.

Saint Jude is one of the twelve apostles and he is the patron of hopeless causes and desperate situations. People turn to him when they feel like nothing can help anymore and they ask him to pray for them. Tradition says he was a relative of Jesus and he preached the gospel with great courage until he was martyred. Many Catholics keep a devotion to him because they believe he brings help in the hardest times.
A beautiful quote of Saint Jude is: “With a firm faith in the heart and with a humble and contrite spirit, I ask you, O most holy apostle, to intercede for me before the throne of God.”

One of the hidden benefits of reading old books is that they rescue you from the arrogance of the present.
PLEASE REMEMBER: once your culture is gone, it is not coming back.
Government education has DELIBERATELY failed to teach the Great Books — the pillars of Western Civilization — for decades. This is how you erase a culture: by eroding its roots.
That's why we started our independent group to study the Western canon. If we’re to keep our civilization, we must continue the Great Conversation upon which it was built. The careful study of our roots is essential.
Western Civilization has given us the greatest works in history, but it takes effort and an open mind to read them. Read properly, Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton are not mere names in a syllabus but guides to more beautiful life.
Join our reading group. Study the great works with us. We read a new classic every 4-6 weeks, and meet biweekly to discuss.
Take out a paid membership if you'd like to support our mission and join the discussions directly — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- Access to our incredible community chat
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next...
