The sin of presumption is especially dangerous. All of us fall into it at times, believing that we can place ourselves in danger of committing mortal sin or falling into temptation without worry. How many times do we tell ourselves that nothing is wrong, God will forgive, and continue on our wayward path? But in doing so, we tempt God and imperil our souls.

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.

As Catholics, we are called to have a love for the sacrament of confession. Along with the Eucharist, confession is the primary means by which we may save our souls. Yet many of us find it difficult to confess our sins regularly and too often make excuses for not devoting ourselves fully to this great gift of grace.

How should we perform our penance? That is, what should be our heart's disposition? Two indispensable dispositions are, first, to love God and, second, to unite our penance with the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. For our acts penance will lack fruit unless they lead us back to God.

We fast and abstain during the Lenten season in order, among other things, to control the concupiscence of the flesh while elevating our souls to God. Both practices also offer us an opportunity to make reparation for our past sins and imitate Our Lord, fasted in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights.

Every apparition of Our Lady has one consistent message: prayer and penance. For while we may wish for our bodily or material maladies to be addressed when we appeal to the Blessed Virgin and Christ, these temporal cures mean nothing if we do not first heal our souls. And so in this time of Lent, we must focus on what is eternal, namely our salvation, which can only come about by dedicating ourselves fully to God.

We must enter Lent with a spirit of charity, for if we are charitable with others, God will be charitable with us. Yet to begin on the path of charity, we must recognize that the greatest battle we have in his life is within our own souls. Cowardice often drives us from confronting this hard truth. With charity and reliance on Our Lord, however, we will have the strength to face our faults and overcome them.

To arise in humility, we must have a fear of pride. Moreover, we cannot rest on our own abilities and virtues. We must, rather, look to God with humility so He can work in our souls while remembering that we can only claim our weaknesses for ourselves.

In the midst of life's trials, do we rejoice in them and see them as an opportunity for spiritual growth? Without trials, we are often tempted to believe we do not need God while remaining attached to the passing things of this world.

If we are not watchful, our minds quickly lose focus on the one true thing needful. When we do not put our whole selves into our prayers and devotions, we begin to see our spiritual lives as a burden and oppressive. Before we know it, our connection with God begins to unravel and we become susceptible to destructive temptations that place our salvation in peril.

As we approach the season of Lent, Holy Mother Church prepares us for the penitential effort this time of the liturgical year demands. This is not a negative. Penance is not just a burden or a pain we must endure, but an opportunity to grow in virtue. Moreover, by detaching ourselves from the world, we are given an opportunity to draw closer to God.
