We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We know from both reflection and Our Lord’s own instructions that there is nothing to be gained that is worth more than our own souls. Thus, we must set sanctity as our primary goal in this life, putting it far above all others. Yet at the same time, God is aware of our imperfections. He sees our failings. We see them as well. However, in His wisdom, Our Lord places this lofty goal of sanctification before us with the demand for perfection in order to inspire us to achieve holiness. Moreover, God provides the Church, a repository of grace and healing, to strengthen us on our spiritual journey. We are never left to do it on our own.

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.
