In the parable of the unjust steward, we are often confused by this parable because of the injustice embedded in the story. However, Our Lord calls us to look beyond the injustice and instead focus on being wise stewards of our earthly goods. When it comes to those things that transcend this earthly realm, specifically our final reward in heaven, we must be exponentially more clever and wise to attain it. And with this, we must not become overly attached to worldly goods, but use them prudently to help us and others toward our final end. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube >

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 Christians, we must forgive. But what does this mean? We are called not to place limitations or restrictions on our forgiveness, but to forgive others as God forgives. Often frustration and anger serve as barriers to forgiveness. So, too, is resentment concerning the trials Our Lord has given us in life. When we resist forgiving others, we assert our will against God's. When we commit these and a myriad of other sins, Our Lord does not seek recompense; rather he lets our sins, that is, our debts, go. This model of forgiveness is one which we must follow every day of our lives. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube >
During the third apparition at Fatima, those present witnessed the great miracle of the sun. Onlookers said the sun danced through the sky and gave off an array of colors. This was followed by a great moment of terror when it appeared as if the sun would collide with the earth. Why does Our Lady allow this? Because it led to the conversion of many souls. In a certain way, the reality of hell serves the same purpose of leading souls away from sin.
The greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart. The second is to love one another. This is why it is crucial to be formed in love through the Sacred Heart of Jesus. For the One with a truly incorruptible heart is Our Lord. And through the example of His saints, we learn that this pure love can be acquired by giving up own self interests so that we may turn our hearts toward both Jesus and our neighbors.
After World War II, Austria was partitioned, with its most Catholic portion, including Vienna, was given over to communist Russia. Through a consistent Rosary Crusade, the Russians withdrew their occupation. It is but one example of the thousands upon thousands of such crusades in history. Whether the intentions have been small or large, repairing to the Rosary has brought great blessings. The most important of these is the sanctification of the faithful. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube >
We often must use metaphors to describe the supernatural. These metaphors assist in the pursuit of holiness, which should be the goal of every person to become a saint. There are, of course, a myriad of good goals in life because we are intimidated by the idea of saintliness. It feels like this end is beyond us. Yet all these goals we set for ourselves, ranging from being a good Catholic father to a good Catholic professional, should build toward holiness and make us better disciples of Our Lord.
