Today’s homily: Easter Sunday (2026)

Easter Sunday in the ancient Roman Rite proclaims not merely that Christ has risen, but that reality itself has been transformed. Drawing on the Resurréxi Introit, the sober witness of the empty tomb, and Saint Paul’s call to “purge out the old leaven,” this homily presents the Resurrection as a concrete, bodily, and ontological victory over sin and death. It confronts the illusion of an Easter without the Cross, insisting that those who share in Christ’s rising must also live as new men. Rooted in the Church’s liturgy and apostolic witness, it calls the faithful not only to believe in the Resurrection, but to embody it—rising from sin into the life of grace, where Christ lives and reigns forever. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/04/05/todays-mass-april-5-easter-sunday/

Good Friday Sermon “Behold the Wood of the Cross, on Which Hung the Saviour of the World”

Christ’s sacrifice on Good Friday fulfills the ancient pattern of offering, death, and communion. He is both Priest and Victim, offering Himself once for all. The Eucharist re-presents this mystery—not as repetition, but as sacramental participation. The priest’s communion completes the sacrifice. On Good Friday, only he receives—echoing Christ’s solitary oblation. The silence of the liturgy confesses: the work is finished, and now received in awe.Dr Jerome Lloyd Titular Archbishop of SelseyTo support this apostolate:https://nuntiatoria.org/old-roman-tv/https://www.patreon.com/OldRomanTVTo support the clergy: https://gofund.me/63af7b8dhttps://www.paypal.me/ArchbishopOfSelseyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheOldRomanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/OldRomanTVTwitter: https://x.com/OldRomanTV

Maundy Thursday Sermon “Having Loved His Own, He Loved Them Unto the End”

On Maundy Thursday, Christ reveals the fullness of divine love—εἰς τέλος—by instituting the Eucharist and the priesthood. He offers not a symbol but Himself, both Priest and Victim, anticipating the Cross. His command to love is enacted in the foot washing, showing that priestly authority is service. The night ends in betrayal and silence, as the Church follows her Lord into Gethsemane, called to remain with Him in humble adoration and obedient love.Dr Jerome Lloyd Titular Archbishop of SelseyTo support this apostolate:https://nuntiatoria.org/old-roman-tv/https://www.patreon.com/OldRomanTVTo support the clergy: https://gofund.me/63af7b8dhttps://www.paypal.me/ArchbishopOfSelseyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheOldRomanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/OldRomanTVTwitter: https://x.com/OldRomanTV

Today’s homily: Spy Wednesday (2026)

Spy Wednesday confronts us with the betrayal of Judas not as distant history but as a present spiritual danger. The contrast between Christ’s humility and Judas’s calculation reveals how sin begins in small infidelities and divided love. Yet the Passion also proclaims mercy: we must choose whether to approach Christ in betrayal or in repentance. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/04/01/todays-mass-april-1-spy-wednesday/

Today’s homily: Holy Monday (2026)

On Holy Monday, Christ journeys from Bethany to Jerusalem, hungering for fruit and finding only leaves on the fig tree—a sign of outward religion without true conversion. In contrast, Mary’s lavish anointing reveals the soul that recognises His Passion and responds with sacrificial love. The day unfolds as a sober warning: judgment falls where there is sterility, but grace abounds where there is devotion. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/03/30/todays-mass-march-30-holy-monday/To support the clergy: https://gofund.me/63af7b8dhttps://www.paypal.me/ArchbishopOfSelseyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheOldRomanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/OldRomanTVTwitter: https://x.com/OldRomanTV

Today’s homily: Passion Saturday Lent V (2026)

On the eve of Palm Sunday, the Church stands in solemn stillness before the unfolding of the Passion. The liturgy reveals the pattern of Christ’s mission: truth opposed, sacrifice embraced, and life born through death. In a world that rejects suffering and clings to self-preservation, the Gospel proclaims the paradox at the heart of salvation—that only by dying with Christ can we truly live. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/03/28/todays-mass-march-28-saturday-lent-v/

Today’s homily: The Seven Sorrows of Our Lady (2026)

On this Passion Friday, the Church presents the Blessed Virgin Mary standing beneath the Cross as the perfect model of faithful suffering and true compassion. In the stark simplicity of the liturgy—“Stabant juxta crucem Jesu mater ejus”—we are taught that love does not flee the Cross but remains, consents, and offers. Mary’s Seven Sorrows, culminating in her union with her Son’s sacrifice, reveal a martyrdom of the heart that forms the pattern of all Christian discipleship. In a world that seeks to escape suffering, she stands as a silent rebuke and a guiding light, inviting us not merely to observe the Passion, but to enter into it—uniting our own trials to Christ’s redemptive work and learning, through her, how to stand in fidelity, love, and hope beneath the Cross. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/03/27/todays-mass-march-27-our-lady-of-sorrows/

Today’s homily: Passion Thursday Lent V (2026)

On this Passiontide Thursday, the Church confronts us with the stark reality of divine justice and the greater triumph of divine mercy. Through the prayer of Azarias in exile and the repentance of Magdalene, we are taught that restoration begins not with reform of structures but with contrition of heart. Set against the witness of St. Apollinaris and the martyrs, the liturgy exposes the danger of pride and the necessity of humility. The Pharisee stands as a warning; Magdalene as a model. In an age marked by confusion and spiritual diminishment, the path forward remains unchanged: repentance, love, and total surrender to Christ. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/03/26/todays-mass-march-26-thursday-lent-v/

Today’s homily: The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (2026)

This homily unites the joy of the Annunciation with the gravity of Passiontide, presenting the Incarnation as the beginning of Christ’s priestly sacrifice. Mary’s Fiat is shown as the decisive moment of salvation history, in contrast to human resistance to God. The faithful are called to imitate her total surrender, recognising that the mystery of Christ must be conceived within the soul through obedience, charity, and participation in the Cross. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/03/25/todays-mass-march-25-wednesday-the-annunciation-of-the-bvm/

Today’s homily: Tuesday Lent V (2026)

Drawing from Daniel in the lions’ den and Christ’s hidden movement toward His Passion, this homily explores the divine pedagogy of waiting: not passive delay, but courageous fidelity amid trial. In an age of confusion and quiet persecution, the faithful are called to trust in God’s unseen providence, nourished by the Eucharist, and strengthened to endure until Christ reveals His victory. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/03/24/todays-mass-march-24-tuesday-lent-v/
