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/

On the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Church places before us the fundamental conflict of the Christian life: flesh against Spirit, God against Mammon, anxiety against trust in Providence. Our Lord does not forbid prudence or responsible care, but warns against allowing created things to become masters of the heart. The remedy is the order of grace: Primum quærite regnum Dei — “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.” In the Eucharist, the command reaches its fulfilment, for the King whom we are told to seek gives Himself to us as our true security, strength and final good. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/04/todays-homily-feria-of-sunday-xiv-post-pentecost/

Pope St Pius X was raised from humble origins to the Chair of Peter and made the restoration of all things in Christ the programme of his pontificate. A parish priest at heart even as Pope, he defended the Catholic Faith against Modernism, renewed priestly formation and ecclesiastical discipline, restored sacred music, promoted frequent Holy Communion and the early Communion of children, and insisted that authentic reform means bringing souls, worship and the Church herself into deeper conformity with Christ. His feast calls us not merely to admire his courage and holiness, but to allow Christ to restore every part of our own lives beneath His sovereign rule. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/03/todays-homily-st-pius-x-pope/

Saint Stephen of Hungary shows that Christian authority is not possession but stewardship. Crowned around the year 1000 after succeeding his father in 997, he used his power to establish and defend the Catholic Faith in Hungary, yet the propers reveal the deeper source of his greatness: “the law of his God is in his heart.” His kingship was therefore governed by Christ, measured by the Cross, and exercised in the knowledge that every ruler must one day render an account. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/02/todays-homily-st-stephen-of-hungary/
