St Joseph of Cupertino’s extraordinary levitations point to a greater miracle: the soul raised above earthly desires by humility, obedience and supernatural charity. The Mass teaches that charity is the wedding garment without which even faith, knowledge and remarkable gifts avail nothing; in Holy Communion, Christ Himself draws the poor and humbled soul upwards towards Heaven. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/18/todays-homily-st-joseph-cupertino/

From serving the lepers he once shunned to receiving Christ’s wounds upon Mount Alvernia, Saint Francis shows how grace transforms a soul through obedient love. His stigmata call us to let the Cross shape our lives, beginning with the particular act of mercy or sacrifice we have been reluctant to offer. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/17/todays-homily-impression-of-the-stigmata-upon-st-francis/

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/

Drawing together the themes of recent Tuesday conferences, this reflection on Qui bene distinguit, bene docet considers the spiritual importance of making sound distinctions. Beginning with the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost — St Paul’s “inward man”, the healing of the man with dropsy, and Our Lord’s warning against seeking the highest place — the conference explores how pride, appetite, distraction, public controversy and confused language can distort judgement. True discernment begins within: learning to distinguish zeal from anger, prudence from fear, vigilance from curiosity, and truth from the desire to be right. Christ restores order by strengthening the inward man and teaching us the freedom of the lower place.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

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
