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

Today’s homily: Passion Wednesday (2025)

On Passion Wednesday, at San Marcello, the Church recalls Leviticus’ call to holiness—truth, justice, and love of neighbor—echoing through Christ’s words: “I and the Father are one.” As the Temple is rededicated, the true Temple, Christ, is rejected. St. Marcellus, like Christ, upheld God’s law amid persecution. The faithful are called to interior purification, not empty fasting, but holiness in word and deed—rededicating the soul as a temple for the approaching Lamb.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 Tuesday (2025)

On Passion Tuesday, the Church recalls Daniel in the pit, fed by an angel, prefiguring the Eucharist and God's sustenance amid trial. The Station honors St. Cyriacus, Roman deacon and exorcist, who mirrors Daniel’s bold witness and was martyred for Christ. In the Gospel, Jesus remains hidden—His hour not yet come—teaching us to trust divine timing. As Passiontide deepens, we are called to open confession of Christ, nourished by grace, and faithful amid fear.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

The Key to the Christian Life: Mastery of the Self

✠Jerome OSJV offers a bold and clarifying vision for personal holiness in an age of confusion and collapse. Rooted in the wisdom of Scripture, the perennial moral law, and the lived example of the saints, the conference reclaims the forgotten truth that sanctity is not mysterious or unattainable—it is the fruit of self-mastery. With compelling clarity, it explores how the Ten Commandments are not chains but signposts to human flourishing, and how true freedom is found not in indulgence but in discipline. Addressing the moral crises of our time, it calls each listener to embrace the dignity of choosing the good, to rise again after failure, and to become a beacon of light in a darkening world. Far from being abstract or idealistic, this is a message of practical hope—one that begins not with systems or revolutions, but with the transformation of the individual heart.

Today’s homily: Passion Monday (2025)

In Passiontide's solemn shadows, the Church leads us to San Crisogono, where St. Chrysogonus—martyred and cast into the sea—echoes Jonas, emerging to preach repentance by his death. Like Nineve, we are called to fast in body and soul, lest Christ's words—“You shall seek Me and shall not find Me”—fall upon us. Yet to the penitent, Christ offers living water. Let us repent while mercy flows, and become vessels of grace in a thirsty world.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: St Vincent Ferrer OP (2025)

St. Vincent Ferrer, a Dominican preacher in a time of crisis, lived the Gospel call to repentance and watchfulness. Renowned for miracles and fearless preaching, he chose truth over comfort and unity over ambition. His life reflects today’s readings: tested like gold, vigilant for Christ's return, and a light in darkness. As Lent continues, we are called to imitate his readiness, charity, and zeal, shining Christ’s light in a world bound by sin.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: St Isidore of Seville (2025)

St. Isidore speaks powerfully to our age of confusion, reminding us that true education forms the soul in truth, not just facts. He united faith and reason, preserving wisdom to build Christendom. In a time when Catholics risk being shaped by culture over catechism, he calls us to renew our minds, love truth, and teach with fidelity. His life urges us to be intellectually awake, spiritually alive, and pastorally courageous in service of Christ and His Church.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

Nuntiatoria: UK Toddler suspended from school for alleged Transphobia

A UK toddler was suspended from nursery for alleged “transphobia,” part of a trend where 94 young children were disciplined for similar reasons in 2022–23. This reflects the rise of ideological enforcement in schools, where natural innocence is punished to uphold gender ideology. The Archbishop calls on Christians to protect children, defend truth, and reject the false compassion of a culture that sacrifices innocence on the altar of political conformity.
