Maundy Thursday Reflection

On Maundy Thursday, Christ gives everything—His Body, Blood, Priesthood, and the commandment of love. In the Upper Room, He kneels to wash feet, even Judas’s, and institutes the Eucharist knowing He will be betrayed. The Mass does not end; the Passion has begun. The Blessed Sacrament is reposed, the altar is stripped, and the Church begins her vigil. This is the night of the Gift. Let us not sleep. Let us kneel with Him—before He is taken from us.🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5580113761009664

Nuntiatoria: UK Supreme Court states Transwomen are NOT women

The UK Supreme Court ruled that the term woman in the Equality Act refers exclusively to biological females, rejecting the inclusion of transwomen in legal female categories. The decision arose from a challenge to a Scottish law that had counted transwomen in female representation quotas. Critics call it exclusionary; supporters say it upholds biological reality and protects sex-based rights. The ruling has wide implications for law, public policy, and gender ideology.

Spy Wednesday Reflection

In preparation for tomorrow... Spy Wednesday reveals Judas’s betrayal for thirty silver pieces—treachery born not in a moment, but through gradual compromise. Christ offers love even to His betrayer, washing his feet and feeding him. The liturgy speaks through Psalm 101: a cry to God in the day of trouble. The altar will soon be stripped, and the Passion begins. Today is a call to examine our hearts: will we weep like Peter, or despair like Judas? The choice is ours—before the kiss is given.🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5580113761009664

Holy Tuesday Reflection

In preparation for tomorrow... Holy Tuesday confronts us with the Passion through St. Mark’s stark Gospel. We see betrayal, denial, and Christ’s silence before His accusers. The liturgy is a mirror, asking us: “Is it I, Lord?” Like Peter, we may fall—but if we weep, we can rise. The Communion verse echoes Christ’s prayer amid mockery. Today calls us not to despair like Judas, but to repent and follow Christ into the silence that saves.https://selsey.org/?p=30826

Holy Monday Reflection

On Holy Monday, the Tridentine liturgy leads us to Bethany, where Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with costly perfume—a silent act of love before the Passion. Judas sees waste; Jesus sees preparation for burial. This day invites us to examine our love for Christ: is it sacrificial, or calculating? Like Mary, we are called to pour out what is precious before the Cross, loving Him while there is still time. Holy Monday is the fragrance of love before the silence of suffering.

Today’s homily: Holy Monday (2025)

On Holy Monday, Christ approaches His Passion with silent strength, offering Himself as the suffering servant foretold by Isaiah. Mary of Bethany’s fragrant anointing reflects true devotion — lavish, reverent, and prophetic. We are called to bear fruit, worship with beauty, and follow Christ through suffering to the Cross, offering Him our hearts like Mary did.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Today’s homily: The Seven Sorrows of the BVM (2025)

On Passion Friday, the Church honors Our Lady’s Compassion—her co-suffering with Christ during His Passion. Mary’s sorrow was not passive grief, but active participation in Redemption, making her the model of redemptive suffering. Her Seven Sorrows form a spiritual school, teaching us to offer our trials with Christ. As Passiontide deepens, we are called to stand with Mary at the Cross, learning from her how to love, suffer, and hope in union with Christ crucified.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live

Today’s homily: Passion Thursday (2025)

On Passion Thursday, Azarias’ prayer in the fire and the sinful woman’s tears both reveal true sacrifice: a contrite heart. Without temple or offering, Israel pleaded for mercy; without merit, the woman loved and was forgiven. At St. Apollinaris, we recall that holiness comes through repentance, not respectability. Like Magdalene, let us pour out love at Christ’s feet, trusting His mercy, and prepare to follow Him to Calvary with hearts ablaze and sins confessed.Latest Old Roman news https://www.selsey.org/nuntiatoria/OLD ROMAN TV Daily Schedule Lent 20250600 Angelus0605 Morning Prayers0800 Daily Mass1200 Angelus1205 Bishop Challoner's Daily Meditation1700 Latin Rosary (live, 15 decades)1800 Angelus2100 Evening Prayers & ExamenOld Roman Forum https://oldroman.live
