A
Remedy for Our Sins during our Time of Apostasy
After our baptism, Our Lord has given us other daily remedies. The Lord’s Prayer is our daily purification. Let us say, and let us say with sincerity because it is an alms in itself: “Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.” Give alms and all things are clean to you.”
St. Augustine, Doctor of the Church, Sermon #261 For the Feast Of The Ascension
Catholic Candle note: It is true at all times of the Church that our sins are remitted through praying the Our Father well. How much more does Divine Providence make the Our Father efficacious for the remission of sins during the present Great Apostasy, when our Loving Heavenly Father has willed to withdraw the Sacraments from faithful and informed Catholics, most of whom do not currently have access to an uncompromising priest!
God has not abandoned us! Rather, He lovingly gives us different efficacious tools to use to help us to save our souls during these apostate times. Read these articles:

Catholic Candle note: To assist parents in homeschooling, we call your attention to a new Traditional Catholic homeschool which is now accessible worldwide. Here is some information about this homeschool:
Angelic Doctor Academy
We would like to introduce Angelic Doctor Academy, a Traditional Catholic homeschool for grades 9 – 12 (lower grades coming soon). We think Traditional Catholics will appreciate our unique and militantly Traditional Catholic curriculum. We have written many new textbooks because we saw the problems in many books commonly used, whether they were history, science, or in other disciplines. We think Catholic parents – especially busy mothers – will appreciate our unique grading system in which we correct everything, including handwritten essays. This allows the parents to concentrate on teaching, explaining, and keeping order. Please visit https://www.ada.school to learn more. Mention that you are a Catholic Candle subscriber for a 10% discount on materials. Thank you!
