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. https://sspx.orgTranscript

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the traditional Catholic daily devotional. |
| 0:08.7 | Today's Thursday, January 2nd, 2025, a fairia and a fourth class feast with the color of white. |
| 0:14.3 | In this episode, The Meditation, A Litany for Priests, a preview of today's sermon, the Holy Name of Jesus. |
| 0:20.7 | Today's news from the church about Father La Colomierre, and today's sermon, the Holy Name of Jesus, today's news from the church |
| 0:21.6 | about Father La Colomierre, and today's thought from Archbishop Marcel Lefev. |
| 0:27.1 | But first, the collect of today's Mass. |
| 0:30.1 | O God, who didst constitute thine only begotten son, the Savior of mankind, and didst bid him |
| 0:36.2 | be called Jesus, mercifully grant that we who venerate |
| 0:39.8 | his holy name on earth may fully enjoy also the vision of him in heaven. |
| 0:45.1 | So you may have a vote of mass today of the holy name, or you may have a vote of mass of |
| 0:50.0 | the first Thursday, but traditionally way back when this was also the feast of St. Fulgenzius, |
| 0:56.3 | who was a man of the 6th century who could have lived a pretty comfortable life, |
| 1:00.9 | but instead he chose a path of sacrifice, faith, and resilience. |
| 1:06.1 | Born into a family with its own share of troubles, Fulgenzius became a tax collector in Carthage |
| 1:11.4 | at a young age. But let's be honest, collecting taxes is no one's dream job, and it wasn't |
| 1:17.1 | Fulgenius's either. So at 22, inspired by St. Augustine's writings, he left it all behind |
| 1:22.6 | to dedicate his life to God. The peace he felt in this new life didn't last long. His monastery was attacked |
| 1:29.9 | by Aryan heretics, forcing him to flee. He tried finding solitude in Egypt, but political and |
| 1:36.7 | religious strife there made him move on, eventually landing him in Rome. Instead of being dazzled |
| 1:41.9 | by the grandeur of the imperial court, Fulgenzius felt an even stronger |
| 1:46.0 | pull towards heavenly pursuits. By 508, Fulgencius became a bishop. It wasn't long before |
