2024 Calendar Guide for Divine Intimacy

Calendar Guide for Divine Intimacy - 2024

The meditations in the Divine Intimacy were intended it to be read in parallel with the pre-Vatican II Roman Rite’s liturgical calendar. For those unfamiliar with this calendar, we offer this set of 7 cards as a daily guide on how to read these meditations in proper order. The first card is for December 2023 only. The 6 remaining cards cover January to December 2024, at one month per side or 2 months per card. These cards fit perfectly inside Divine Intimacy and can be carried around with it.

For the purposes of this guide, we use the Roman universal liturgical calendar as found in the 1962 Daily Missal. In addition to the daily meditations, Divine Intimacy provides meditations for specific feasts. On days where there is a choice between two meditations, the reader is free to read and meditate on either or both of these meditations. The feast or feria observed on any particular day according to the universal calendar of the 1962 Daily Missal is indicated in regular text. Sundays are in bold, while commemorations are in italics. Feasts specific to some communities or locations only are not included, however, a handful of feasts that are not commemorated in the universal calendar are included 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)

Saints’ titles (Bishop, Confessor, Martyr, etc.) have not been included save for Pope and Apostle.
