Today’s homily: St. Edmund Rich of Canterbury (2025)

St Edmund Rich shone like the morning star: a scholar-bishop who invested every talent for Christ, defended the Church’s liberty against king and legate, and embraced holiness in Cistercian humility. His feast, with the Sunday’s call to vigilance, urges us to break the nets of sin, reject fear, be faithful in little things, and watch for the Lord’s coming, as Edmund did, until hearing: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: St Didacus of Alcalá (2025)

St. Didacus of Alcalá, humble Franciscan lay brother, shows that true wisdom lies not in learning but in the light of Christ. In an age of pride and confusion, his hidden holiness teaches us the power of humility and fidelity to the Cross. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: St Martin of Tours (2025)

St Martin of Tours, soldier turned monk and bishop, evangelised Gaul through humility and charity, seeing Christ in the poor. St Mennas, soldier-martyr, confessed Christ under torture, converting his persecutor. Both reveal the one light of faith—active in mercy, steadfast in witness, and needed now as ever for the re-Christianisation of our world. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: St Andrew Avellino (2025)

St Andrew Avellino (1521–1608), once a Neapolitan lawyer, repented a single lie and vowed never again to follow his own will but to advance daily in holiness. Joining the Theatines in 1556, he became novice master, counsellor to St Charles Borromeo, and model of priestly perseverance. Struck by apoplexy while beginning Mass, he died at the altar. Canonised in 1712, he is patron against sudden death and exemplar of steadfast sanctity. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: Dedication of the Lateran Basilica (2025)

The Lateran, mother of all churches, proclaims the Incarnation’s truth: God dwells with men. As relics reveal grace in matter, so Our Lady—Co-Redemptrix and living temple—shows creation sanctified. Let every soul, like hers, become a dwelling place of the Eternal Word. https://nuntiatoria.org/

Today’s homily: St Willibrord of Utrecht (2025)

St Willibrord, Northumbrian monk and Apostle to the Frisians, united Irish missionary zeal with Roman order. Trained at Ripon and sent by Rome, he evangelised pagan Frisia, founded Utrecht and Echternach, and prepared Europe’s conversion. His courage, fidelity, and holiness challenge today’s Church to reject compromise, preach truth boldly, and rekindle the apostolic spirit that once transformed nations. https://nuntiatoria.org

Today’s homily: Understanding ”Coredemptrix”, the Incarnation and our salvation (2025)

Mary is Co-redemptrix through her unique cooperation in the Incarnation, giving flesh to the Word by her fiat. What was accomplished bodily in her is to be accomplished spiritually in us: through Baptism and grace, we too are called to let Christ live in us. Her perfect union of faith and obedience reveals our vocation—to cooperate with divine grace until body and soul are restored in holiness. https://nuntiatoria.org/2025/11/04/rome-redefines-mary-from-co-redemptrix-to-mater-populi-fidelis/

Today’s homily: St Charles Borromeo (2025)

St. Charles Borromeo (1538–1584) reformed the Church through holiness amid the corruption of his age—guiding Trent, renewing Milan, and serving heroically during plague. With Ss. Vitalis and Agricola and in the Octave of All Saints, he calls today’s Church to fidelity, reverence, and courageous sanctity amid confusion and decline. https://nuntiatoria.org/2025/10/31/02-11-25-nuntiatoria-lxxviii-perseverantia-sancta/

Today’s homily: Sunday XXI Post Pentecost (2025)

The Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost calls us to forgiveness and steadfast faith within God’s will—In voluntáte Tua, Domine. St Paul’s “armor of God” urges strength amid spiritual conflict, while the Gospel warns that mercy withheld invites judgment. Linked to the Octave of All Saints, the homily unites this call to perseverance with the witness of those who, uphold sanctity and truth amid the Church’s trials. https://nuntiatoria.org/2025/10/31/02-11-25-nuntiatoria-lxxviii-perseverantia-sancta/

Today’s homily: All Saints (2025)

All Saints’ Day exalts the triumph of grace in every soul perfected in Christ. The Church honours all who share His glory—known and unknown—calling the faithful to holiness. The Beatitudes reveal the path to sanctity: humility, purity, and love unto sacrifice. The Saints rebuke worldly vanity, showing that only union with God endures. In their joy we glimpse Heaven’s liturgy, our true homeland, where charity reigns eternal. https://www.nuntiatoria.org/
