- - - General Help / FAQs- - -    [? Summary]

How is the Daily Digest Image Selected?

The main image on the Daily Digest page (top left) should correspond with the day of the week [except for certain holiday(s), e.g. Christmas], in accordance with the traditional practice of daily dedications / devotions. For more information regarding daily devotions, try clicking on the image (or click here).

How Are Other Items in the Daily Digest Selected?

Items may be "selected" (or rather, "assigned") in a variety of ways. For example:

* Items may be randomly (or 'semi-randomly') assigned [Note: Outside of certain holidays / feasts / etc., most items on the Daily Digest may be 'semi-randomly' assigned & cyclical (or somewhat cyclical).]

* Items may be assigned based on a certain date / feast / season / day of week / etc.

* Items may be specially designated for a certain particular feast(s) / date(s) / etc.

Note that items may be assigned in "cycles" (specified or 'randomized') or "approximate cycles".

It is important to note that:

* Component(s) of the Daily Digest may or may not be selected for specific days. It is possible, therefore, that some items may appear which seem unsuitable for a feast or due to current circumstances within the Church (or in the nation / world). We regret any such unfortunate occurrences and remind you that: (1) it is not our desire for any such suitable items to appear, and (2) that their appearance may have no connection whatsoever with current events / situations / etc.

* Most items are not selected and matched to specific days. We apologize if any are unsuited to any given day. Certainly, it is our hope that no items appear unsuitably.

* Items may appear on any season / day / etc., regardless of fitness for that season / day / etc. For example, it is possible that 'fun & activities' items may appear during Lent (even during Holy Week) and that papal items may appear during an interregnum. Also, links to commercial pages may generally appear even on Sundays and holy days. While we regret any unsuitableness, we certainly do not encourage Catholics to partake of any item which is not proper to the season / day / etc. Reminder: Catholics are bound to avoid activities which may hinder proper celebration of the Lord's Day or holy days (including unnecessary shopping).

* Daily Digest items may be assigned well in advance (e.g. years). While we reserve the right to change any item at our sole option, note that items may not be subject to change / update / correction / etc., even if certain conditions in the Church / world / etc. have changed and would make such Daily Digest changes / updates / corrections desirable.

* As indicated, items may have been randomly assigned years in advance. You should not assume that any item appearing in the Daily Digest appears there - or was placed on any particular day(s) - "on purpose".

How Often Do Daily Digest Items Repeat?

Items appearing on the Daily Digest may or may not reappear at a later time. Of those that do reappear, it is important to note the following:

* Items may appear more or less frequently, depending upon the size of the 'pool' from which they are taken. For example, some items may appear each year (e.g. feast days information, certain seasonal items, etc.), some may appear every other year or every few years. Some items that reappear may appear more or less frequently than others.

* Some items may 'always' appear (e.g. certain links / explanatory text / terms / etc.).

* The main image (top left) may be repeated weekly (or annually), as explained above (click here)

How Often is the Daily Digest Updated?

The MCS Daily Digest is 'automatically updated' each day (at midnight, server time). To view current version, use your browser's refresh button.

How Important is the Indicated Date / Time to the Daily Digest Page?

The Daily Digest does not contain readings for Mass. For readings for the Traditional Latin Mass or for the Novus Ordo (New Order) Mass, try the link(s) provided in the Daily Digest under "Today's Liturgy"

Is the Daily Digest Suitable for all Persons?

The Daily Digest may not be suited to all ages or persons. Please note that we do not guarantee that any item on the Daily Digest is suited to any age(s) / individual(s) / group(s) / etc.

Some of these links, may still function (e.g. links at top, links marked with an asterisk*). [11/13 UPDATE: Links marked with an asterisk may no longer be available with the new format.]

What if I Missed a Day of the Daily Digest?

We are sorry, but we are unable to provide you with copies of the Daily Digest for days missed. Please be sure to visit each day.

What if an Item Appearing on the Daily Digest is (or seems) Unsuitable For a Particular Day / Date / Etc.?

As indicated above, we regret any such occurrence and remind you that:

* Items may have been randomly assigned years in advance. You should not assume that any item appearing in the Daily Digest appears there - or was placed on any particular day(s) - "on purpose".

* Component(s) of the Daily Digest may or may not be selected for specific days. It is possible, therefore, that some items may appear which seem unsuitable for a feast or due to current circumstances within the Church (or in the nation / world). We regret any such unfortunate occurrences and remind you that: (1) it is not our desire for any such suitable items to appear, and (2) that their appearance may have no connection whatsoever with current events / situations / etc.

We regret any confusion / inconvenience and apologize if any item appears at an undesirable time.

Where Can I Get More Detailed Information Regarding a Particular Component of the Daily Digest?

For more detailed information regarding particular Daily Digest components, scroll down [or return to links at top to navigate (look for those marked "DDC")].

What Does "Trad." Mean? / What Does "New" Mean?

The notations "Trad." and "New" which may appear on the Daily Digest may refer to the Traditional (Trad.) or Novus Ordo (New) calendars. 

"Trad." items may refer to traditional items (feasts / practices / etc.). Such items may be currently observed / no longer observed / observed on a limited basis or in limited areas / optionally observed / etc. Note that not all traditional items may be indicated with the "Trad." notation. Not all "Trad." items may be included.

The notation "New" may refer to the Novus Ordo (New Order) calendar (of the 1960's or later). Such items may be currently observed / no longer observed / observed on a limited basis or in limited areas / optionally observed / etc. Note that not all "new" items may be indicated with the "New" notation. Not all "New" items may be included.

"New" and "Trad." items may or may not fall on the same day.

Note that any applicable item - regardless of calendar - may be changed / may not be current / may no longer be observed / may be of limited observance / may be transferred / may change (or may have already changed) from the date indicated / etc. Also note that the Daily Digest may be prepared many years in advance and may not include more recent changes to feasts / practices / etc.

* Morning: Midnight to just before noon

* Afternoon: Noon to just before 6:00 p.m.

* Evening: 6:00 p.m. to just before midnight

Note that the above is based on server time, which may differ from the actual time in your time zone. Should this occur, we regret any confusion or inconvenience. Note: Click here for more information.

Why Does the Daily Digest Contain Information For Both the Traditional & New (Novus Ordo) Calendars? [Dual Calendars]

The Daily Digest may contain information from both the Traditional & New (Novus Ordo) calendars because both calendars are in use in the Church. Note that those who attend the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass generally follow the Traditional Calendar, while those who attend the Novus Ordo (New Order) Mass of the 1960's generally follow the new calendar.

Note: For more information on the Traditional Calendar, try the Latin Mass / Catholic Tradition Section of this site. For more information on the differences between the Traditional & Novus Ordo Mass, try here.

Why Does the Daily Digest Sometimes Refer to Fasting / Abstinence / Etc. Outside of Lent (and for most of Lent)? Are Catholics Required to Fast / Abstain / Etc. on These Days?

Catholics are bound to observe all days of fasting / abstinence / penance / etc. which are currently prescribed by the Church (and those items alone are strictly required).

It should be noted that since Vatican II, various traditional observances have been changed / curtailed / eliminated. Many Catholics, however, still - of their own free will - follow the traditional practices which have been recommended from time immemorial [e.g. the Lenten fast ("the observance of Lent is an essential mark of Catholicity", Dom Gueranger), Rogation Days, Ember Days, Friday abstinence, etc.] and which have served her members so well for so many years.

Therefore, although certain traditional practices may not be strictly required, they may be desirable / recommended. For this reason, information about such practices may be included with the Daily Digest.

"The observance of Lent is the very badge of Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of the cross of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help. Should mankind grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God's glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, of private woe." (Pope Benedict XIV, 1741 A.D.)

Note: For more information on traditional prayers & practices, click here.

Why Does a Message Sometimes Appear at the Top of the Daily Digest in Red? How Can I Update or Remove This Message?

Messages may sometimes appear at the top of the Daily Digest to remind visitors of an important item (e.g. the recitation of the Angelus / Regina Caeli three times each day). 

It is important to note that these messages may appear at a given time for a given number of minutes based on server time. If you are in an area outside the server time, the messages may not be timely for you. We regret any inconvenience or confusion.

To update the message (if applicable), click your browser's refresh button. 

To remove the message (as applicable), click your browser's refresh button after the message is scheduled to disappear (e.g. in five minutes or so, as applicable).

With regard to the 'recommended / required' field, note that: 

* Not all items may be applicable to all / any person(s)

* We make no guarantees whatsoever regarding any item

* Items may or may not be Church requirements / recommendations

* Items which may appear as 'recommended / required' may not be the only applicable ones (e.g. certain plenary indulgences may be available only on certain days, however, other plenary indulgences may be available on other days - even daily)

* We do not promise to list all holy days of obligation

* Holy days and their associated obligations may be transferred / changed / suppressed / etc., regardless of how they might appear on the Daily Digest

* More recent items may be excluded

* If the server date is off, all items on the Daily Digest may be off

* You alone are responsible for meeting all Church requirements. You should not count on this site to inform you of any / all Church requirements

* Some items may be regional

* Some days may have more than one similar (or mutually exclusive) item(s) - if so, both may be listed for convenience [e.g. abstinence / penance & fasting / partial abstinence may both be listed on the same date - if so, one may override the other (e.g. abstinence would override partial abstinence)]. Note also that two identical items may also be listed (e.g. when fasting is recommended for a particular day for two reasons - for example, an Ember day in Lent). Of course, in such a case, it is only necessary to do the same activity once.

* A good Catholic should do much more each day to live their faith than what is indicated as 'recommended / required' (including morning offerings, daily prayers, evening prayers, rosary, examinations of conscience, praying, good works, acts of reparation, meeting one's obligations, avoiding sin, observing monthly/daily dedications, etc.)

* Items indicated as "recommended" may be required. Items indicated as "required" may not be required (and may be simply "recommended").

* Actual requirements may differ from what is presented on this site. We do not guarantee accuracy / completeness / etc. of any item. 

* All applicable items subject to change without notice. Note that not all changes may be reflected in the Daily Digest.

* It should be noted that fasting / abstinence regulations and other Church obligations have varied over the years (and by location)

* For medical information, contact a good doctor

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

Click for more information & to purchase

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
