Today’s homily: The First Sunday of Advent (2025)

The First Sunday of Advent calls us to lift our souls to God and awaken from spiritual sleep. The Tridentine propers reveal Christ’s twofold coming—first in mercy, then in judgment—summoning us to conversion, vigilance, and hope. Advent urges young and old alike to cast off darkness, stir the heart to renewal, and prepare for the Lord who once came in humility and will return in glory. https://nuntiatoria.org

Today’s homily: Feria of Sunday XXIV st Ultima Post Pentecost (2025)

The Feria of the final Sunday after Pentecost calls us to watchfulness amid a Church and world shaken by confusion. Christ assures us that though wheat and cockle grow together until the harvest, His word does not pass away. In an age of modernist error and false prophets, we cling to the Tradition, deepen our roots, show mercy, and await the coming of the King, who thinks thoughts of peace and will gather His elect in glory. https://nuntiatoria.org

Today’s homily: Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (2025)

This feast honours the image of Our Lady as Mediatrix of All Graces, revealed at the 1830 Paris apparition. Scripture shows her as the Woman of the Apocalypse and the Mother at Cana who intercedes and prepares hearts for Christ’s grace. The Miraculous Medal confirms her role through many miracles. We are called to imitate her—becoming vessels and instruments of grace so Christ may reach the world through us. https://nuntiatoria.org

Today’s homily: St Catherine of Alexandria (2025)

St Catherine of Alexandria stands before the emperor Maximinus Daia during the fierce persecutions in early-4th-century Alexandria, boldly defending the faith and confounding his philosophers through purity, prayer, and learning. Her witness speaks powerfully to young Catholics today who face cultural pressure, ideological demands, and ecclesial confusion. Catherine shows how an integrated life of truth and holiness outlasts every worldly power. https://nuntiatoria.org

Today’s homily: St John of the Cross (2025)

St John of the Cross (1542–1591), mystic and reformer, rose from poverty through suffering, imprisonment, and heroic fidelity to the Cross, shaping the Discalced Carmelites with St Teresa. His “Dark Night” was forged in Toledo’s darkness. Beside him stands St Chrysogonus (m. 304), Roman martyr whose steadfast witness endures in the Canon. Both teach that true holiness shines through sacrifice, truth, and love of Christ crucified. https://nuntiatoria.org

Today’s homily: St Clement of Rome (2025)

St Clement’s feast and the Last Sunday after Pentecost warn us to stand firm in truth as the world falters. Notre Dame’s drift from Catholic identity, state overreach in Northern Ireland, the corruption of children exposed in Planned Parenthood, and the rise of Traditional and Orthodox faith highlight the battle for souls. Faithful shepherds like Bishop Ward and the S.S.F. show that God still raises defenders of the apostolic Tradition. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (2025)

Mary’s Presentation shows the child destined to become God’s living Temple entering the earthly Temple. Chosen before all ages, she embodies perfect obedience, hearing and keeping the Word. Her consecration calls parents to safeguard their children’s innocence and all Christians to be “presented” to God in purity. In Mary, the Church sees the model of total surrender that prepares the way for Christ. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: St Edmund, King & Martyr (2025)

St Edmund, King and Martyr, defended an ancient Christian England against the Great Heathen Army. Refusing to make Christ a private devotion under pagan rule, he chose fidelity over compromise and accepted a martyr’s death. His witness reveals true kingship as self-offering patterned on the Incarnation. Edmund calls us today to public faith, courage, and steadfast loyalty to Christ the King. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: Dedication of the Basilicas of SS Peter & Paul (2025)

The feast honours the ancient basilicas built over the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul—sites confirmed by archaeology, venerated since the second century, and rebuilt by emperors, popes, and pilgrims. These “trophies of the Apostles” proclaim that God works through matter and history. Their dedication reveals the Church as God’s dwelling among men, calling us to fidelity as living temples of Christ. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: St. Hugh of Lincoln (2025)

St Hugh of Lincoln, the Carthusian turned bishop, rebuilt souls and cathedral alike with justice, charity, and fearless compassion—so gentle that even the fierce swan of Stow bowed to him. St Gregory the Wonderworker shows the same holiness in miracles and apostolic fire. Both kept the Gospel’s watchfulness and urge us to live ready for Christ’s coming with faith, courage, and purity of heart. https://nuntiatoria.org/
