What is the SSPX Podcast?
The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition. - - - - - -What is the SSPX?
The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it.Transcript

| 0:29.5 | O Lord, we beseech thee to keep thy household continually under thy mercy, that as it leans only upon |
| 0:35.2 | the hope of thy heavenly grace, so it may always be protected by |
| 0:38.6 | thy mighty power. |
| 0:40.8 | Today is a feria, but let's go to Florence in the 16th century. |
| 0:45.6 | Young, noble, and full of promise, Alexandrina de Ricci had the world at her feet, but |
| 0:51.4 | she had her heart set on something greater. |
| 0:53.9 | At just 13, she left behind wealth and status to join the Dominican monastery at Pr feet. But she had her heart set on something greater. At just 13, she left behind wealth |
| 0:55.7 | and status to join the Dominican monastery at Proto, taking the name Catherine after her beloved |
| 1:00.8 | St. Catherine of Siena. Her devotion to Christ's passion was so intense that she didn't just meditate |
| 1:07.2 | on it. She lived it. In Lent of 1541, she had a vision of the crucifixion so |
| 1:12.9 | overwhelming that she was bedridden for weeks, only restored by an appearance of Jesus and |
| 1:19.0 | St. Mary Magdalene. From then on, every Friday she entered into an ecstasy, bearing the |
| 1:24.8 | wounds of Christ, the stigmata, the crown of thorns, and the piercing of his |
| 1:28.7 | side. Her suffering wasn't just for herself. She offered it for the souls in purgatory. People from |
| 1:35.1 | all over Tuscany sought her prayers for their loved ones. And when she prayed for one particular |
