She Knew the Time of Her Visitation: Saint Anne was the faithful mother who recognised Mary as a gift entrusted by God and returned that gift wholly to Him. Contrasting her humble household with Jerusalem’s failure to recognise its visitation, it calls Christian families to form children for holiness, preserve the Faith, foster vocations, and recognise Christ when He comes hidden in grace and in the Holy Eucharist. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/26/todays-homily-st-anne-mother-of-the-mother-of-god/

The Chalice Before the Throne: Saint James desired a place beside Christ in His kingdom, but Our Lord taught him that the throne could be reached only through the chalice. The impetuous son of thunder was purified by grace into an apostolic father who drank Christ’s chalice in martyrdom. With Saint Christopher, who bore Christ beneath the weight of an unexpected burden, he teaches us to recognise sanctification in the sacrifices, duties and crosses appointed by Divine Providence.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/25/todays-homily-st-james-the-greater/

Nuntiatoria CXVI considers what happens when institutions retain their offices, laws and outward forms after losing sight of what they are for. The Church exists for the worship of God and the salvation of souls; bishops are appointed to guard the Faith; priests to teach, sanctify and govern; monasteries to offer the solemn praise of God; civil law to protect justice, life and the natural family. Much of the disorder examined in this edition begins when those ends are forgotten and lesser purposes take their place. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/24/26-07-26-nuntiatoria-cxvi-ad-finem-suum-restituenda/Newsletter 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:https://gofund.me/ca98bc3c0https://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

Before Saint Wilfrid brought the Gospel publicly to the South Saxons, Saint Lewinna had already confessed Christ in hidden fidelity and sealed that confession with her blood. Her feast teaches that the conversion of peoples begins with solitary souls who possess Christ as the pearl of great price and remain faithful even when no harvest can yet be seen.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/24/todays-homily-st-lewinna-vm/

Saint Jerome Emiliani passed from the chains of captivity to the liberty of grace, and from worldly self-possession to spiritual fatherhood. Through the Mass propers, the homily shows how Christ breaks the chains of sin, receives the abandoned, and calls His adopted children to defend innocence, serve the afflicted, and bring the fatherless into the household of God.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/20/todays-homily-st-jerome-emiliani/

Saint Vincent de Paul understood that authentic Christian charity must serve the whole person. From Folleville and Châtillon to his missions, works for the poor, and reform of the clergy, he united corporal mercy with the salvation of souls. The homily contrasts supernatural charity with secular humanitarianism and shows that every work of mercy finds its source and fulfilment in Christ present in the Holy Eucharist.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/19/todays-homily-st-vincent-de-paul/

Saint Alexius renounced wealth, status, family recognition, and even his own name in order to belong entirely to God. Living first as a beggar in Edessa and then, according to tradition, beneath the staircase of his father’s house in Rome, he became an image of the hidden Christ. His feast challenges Christians to seek holiness without applause, to examine the attachments concealed within the heart, and to remember that a life forgotten by the world may yet be perfectly known, loved, and crowned by God.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/17/todays-homily-st-alexius/

Mount Carmel is the mountain upon which Elias compelled Israel to choose between the living God and Baal, and where the little cloud prefigured the Blessed Virgin bearing Christ, the rain of grace, to a spiritually barren world. The brown scapular is therefore not a talisman but a garment of allegiance: a call to live beneath Mary’s mantle by hearing the word of God, keeping it, rejecting the idols of the age, and persevering faithfully in Christ until death.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/16/todays-homily-our-lady-of-carmel/

Saint Swithun is remembered today chiefly for an old weather proverb, yet the Church remembers him as a faithful bishop through whom the grace of Christ flowed to His people. This homily recovers the forgotten meaning behind the rain traditionally associated with his translation: not a sign of displeasure, but a symbol of Heaven's blessing, echoing the Advent cry, Rorate cæli desuper. Drawing upon the Proper of the Mass, the life of the saint and the history of his destroyed shrine at Winchester, it reflects on the true vocation of bishops as stewards of the apostolic Faith, calls Catholics to rebuild the Church through fidelity rather than novelty, and challenges modern Britain to recover not merely the memory of its saints, but the Faith that made them holy.https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/15/todays-homily-st-swithun/
