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...Transcript

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the traditional Catholic Daily Devotional. |
| 0:08.9 | Today's Tuesday, February 25th, 2025, a faria, fourth class with a color of violet. |
| 0:14.9 | In this episode, The Meditation, Confident Resignation. |
| 0:18.4 | Today's news from the church, future consecrations, an approaching deadline, |
| 0:22.7 | and today's thought from Archbishop Marcel Lefevre. But first, the collect of today's mass, |
| 0:29.4 | O God, you who see that we put no trust in anything we do, mercifully grant that by the protection |
| 0:35.5 | of the doctor of the Gentiles, we may be defended against |
| 0:38.6 | all adversity. Today's a feria, but we also honor a saint that is little known in the modern |
| 0:46.6 | church, Saint Terracius. He was a nobleman, a diplomat, and a statesman. Yeah, Terracius had it all. Born into privilege in |
| 0:56.1 | Constantinople in the 8th century, he climbed the ranks of the imperial court, known for his |
| 1:00.8 | wisdom and integrity. But when the patriarch of Constantinople resigned, the people turned to |
| 1:06.1 | Terracius to take his place. There was just one problem with this. The church in Constantinople was completely |
| 1:12.7 | in schism. Terracius refused the position unless a general council was called to reunite the church |
| 1:18.4 | and to settle the bitter dispute over the veneration of holy images. So, the result was the second |
| 1:24.7 | council of Nicaea, which restored the rightful place of sacred |
| 1:28.1 | icons and Christian worship and healed divisions which had plagued the church for years. |
| 1:33.4 | As patriarch, Terracius lived not as a ruler, but as a monk, humble, prayerful, and charitable. |
| 1:40.1 | He fasted, prayed through the night, and gave generously to the poor. His leadership wasn't |
| 1:45.2 | about theology either. It was about integrity. When Emperor Constantine the 6th sought to divorce |
| 1:50.9 | his wife so that he could marry another woman, Terracius refused to bless this scandal, |
| 1:56.5 | even under pressure from the imperial court. And we all know in that time they could do a lot of damage |
| 2:01.6 | to a patriarch. Regardless, for 21 years, he guided the church with wisdom and courage, standing firm |
