Summary

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue with our study of vestments for the Mass. We start with the “altar vestments”, or the altar linens – what is their symbolism, practical reason, and how should we care for them? Then we look at the power and meaning of liturgical colors; from green to gold, each has a significance for both the liturgical calendar and theology. Father also dispels common misconceptions about silver and gold vestments before giving practical advice on how to purchase vestments, and how to care for them so they last for generations.

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.org
