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

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the traditional Catholic daily devotional. |
| 0:06.8 | Today's Monday, February 3rd, 2025, the Feast of St. Blaise, a fourth-class feast with the color of red. |
| 0:12.7 | In this episode, The Blessing of Throats, a preview of today's sermon, calming the tempest in our soul. |
| 0:18.8 | Today's news, confirmation dates scheduled for the U.S. District, |
| 0:22.5 | and today's thought from Archbishop Marcel Lefev. |
| 0:26.6 | But first the call act of today's Mass. |
| 0:29.4 | O God, who knowest that our human frailty cannot stand fast against the great dangers that beset us, |
| 0:35.9 | grant us health of mind and body, that with thy help we |
| 0:39.0 | may overcome what we suffer on account of our sins. The day after Candlemas marks the Feast of St. Blaze. |
| 0:47.2 | On this day, it has been the practice in the church to perform a blessing of throats. |
| 0:51.8 | Before he was made the Bishop of Sebaste, or the modern city of Sivas, |
| 0:55.9 | St. Blaze practiced as a physician. Much later, he was renowned for his faith, and on route to |
| 1:02.3 | prison, he encountered a boy who was choking from a fishbone stuck in his throat. After praying |
| 1:07.7 | over him, the boy was cured. Due to these two facts, St. Blaise is a patron saint of physicians and especially sought after |
| 1:15.6 | as a patron saint for those suffering from ailments of the throat. |
| 1:19.6 | Because of St. Blaze's miraculous intercession for the young boy, the church composed a special blessing for throats to be performed on his feast day. |
| 1:28.2 | This sacramental, just like any other, is a proof that the church's motherly care and concern |
| 1:33.6 | is not only for the spiritual good of the faithful through the Mass and the sacraments, |
| 1:37.7 | but also for their smaller daily needs. |
| 1:40.5 | The timing of this blessing is also rather opportune, |
| 1:43.6 | since sickness is not uncommon around this time of the year. |
| 1:47.2 | In addition to ailments of the throat, this blessing also wishes a deliverance from every other evil, both material and spiritual. |
