| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the traditional Catholic Daily Devotional. |
| 0:10.3 | Today's Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, the Tuesday in Passion Week, third class with the color of violet. |
| 0:16.1 | In this episode, the meditation, 40 steps to Easter. |
| 0:19.2 | Today's news from the church, the ideal Easter confession, |
| 0:23.0 | and today's thought from Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. |
| 0:27.2 | But first, the call-act of today's Mass. |
| 0:29.6 | May our fasting be acceptable to thee, we beseech thee, O Lord. |
| 0:33.6 | May it be atonement for our sins, make us worthy of thy grace, and lead us to the everlasting |
| 0:38.9 | remedy of the life to come. |
| 0:42.5 | Saint Perpetuous may not be a household name today, but back in the 5th century, he was a big |

| 1:08.1 | practical reforms to help folks grow in virtue. But he also had a deep |
| 1:12.5 | respect for the past, especially for the saints. His devotion to St. Martin of Tours, one of the |
| 1:18.1 | greatest bishops before him, was legendary. So many pilgrims kept showing up to St. Martin's tomb |
| 1:23.8 | that the church couldn't hold them. So, Perpetuous got to work expanding it. When it was |
| 1:28.6 | finished, he personally oversaw the dedication and moved St. Martin's remains to its new resting |
| 1:33.9 | place on July 4th, 473. That day became a festival for centuries. What's really touching, though, |
| 1:41.4 | is his will, written in 475 and still preserved today. |
| 1:46.3 | He forgave all debts owed to him, left his library and lands to the church, and made the poor his heirs. |
