Wednesday in Michaelmas Embertide gathers together the autumn harvest, the proclamation of God’s Law, and Our Lord’s warning that some battles are won only by prayer and fasting. The liturgy asks whether the grace we have received has actually borne fruit in our lives. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/16/todays-homily-wednesday-michaelmas-ember/

On the Feast of the Seven Sorrows, the Church contemplates not merely Mary’s grief but her fidelity beneath the Cross. Through the liturgy, St Bernard, St John Damascene and St Thomas Aquinas, the homily shows that Christian resignation does not mean calling suffering good, but remaining faithful to God when suffering cannot be removed or understood. Mary’s stabat becomes the model of a faith which the sword can pierce, but cannot conquer.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/15/todays-homily-seven-sorrows-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/

On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Church proclaims not the defeat of Christ but His victory. Drawing on the Gospel, the Epistle, St Cyril, St Thomas Aquinas and St Bonaventure, this homily asks where the Cross is already present in our own lives, and whether we are resisting the very place in which Christ is asking for obedience, surrender and deeper union with His Sacrifice. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/14/todays-homily-exaltation-of-the-holy-cross/

The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost reveals the Christian life as the work of grace from beginning to end. The soul begins by crying Miserere mihi; grace goes before and follows every good work; St Paul prays that Christ may dwell in the inward man; and the Gospel shows Our Lord healing both bodily dropsy and the deeper swelling of pride. Through the Sacrifice and Holy Communion, the humble soul is purified, strengthened and prepared for the final word of the Divine Host: “Friend, go up higher.” https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/13/todays-homily-sunday-xvi-post-pentecost/

On the fourth day within the Octave of Our Lady’s Nativity, the Church contemplates the hidden preparation of the Mother of God: her consecration, purity, Temple service and providential betrothal to St Joseph. From the Bread of the Presence to the true Bread of Life, Mary’s childhood already foreshadows the mystery of the Incarnation, while the martyrs Protus and Hyacinth show the fruit of a life wholly surrendered to Christ. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/11/todays-homily-day-iv-in-the-octave-of-the-nativity-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/

St Nicholas of Tolentino shows that sanctity is not manufactured by austerity but received through grace and perfected by an undivided response to God. The Gospel’s “single eye,” the saint’s penitential life and charity for the Holy Souls, and the continuing Octave of Our Lady’s Nativity together teach that holiness consists in allowing grace to order every affection towards Christ, the everlasting Light.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/10/todays-homily-st-nicholas-tolentino/

This spiritual conference reflects on the central theme of Nuntiatoria CXXII: Nomen manet, res deest — “The name remains; the reality is lacking.” Beginning from the Incarnation, it argues that the Catholic Faith is necessarily embodied: words, signs, gestures, sacraments, sacred places and human actions matter because the Word was made flesh. The conference turns that principle inward, asking whether the Catholic name we bear corresponds to the reality of our lives. Christ’s raising of the widow’s son at Naim becomes the key image of restoration: He does not redefine death but restores life. The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary then brings the theme to fulfilment, as Mary’s Fiat becomes flesh in the Incarnation. The spiritual lesson is one of correspondence and conversion: what we profess, worship and believe must increasingly take visible form in the life of grace.Following the Angelus broadcast at approximatelyBST 6pm CEST 7pm EDT 1pm CDT 12pm MST/PDT 10am AEST 3am PHT 1amNewsletter https://www.nuntiatoria.orgApostolate https://www.oldroman.orgTo help Fr Stanislaus get home to his family and physio/rehab visit: https://americancristeros.org/💰To support this apostolate:Daily Mass broadcast https://gofund.me/ca98bc3c0Old Roman TV https://www.patreon.com/OldRomanTVTo support the clergy: https://gofund.me/63af7b8dhttps://www.paypal.me/ArchbishopOfSelseyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuntiatoriaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/OldRomanTVTwitter: https://x.com/OldRomanTV

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the salutis exordium — the beginning of salvation — because in her birth the Mother of the Redeemer enters the world. The feast invites us to recognise how quietly divine Providence often begins its greatest works, and to imitate Mary’s humility, obedience and complete trust in God.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/08/todays-homily-the-nativity-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/

St Paul urges us not to grow weary in doing good: every prayer, sacrifice, act of charity and fidelity is seed sown for eternity. Our task is to persevere in the sowing and trust God for the harvest.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/07/todays-homily-feria-ii-of-the-fifteenth-sunday-post-pentecost/

Death was already on the road to the grave when Christ stepped into its path. A homily for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost on the widow of Naim, the power of Christ to restore what seems lost, and why Catholics must never despair of their families, the Faith, or the Church.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/06/todays-homily-fifteenth-sunday-post-pentecost/
