Episodes
St Edward’s feast honours a king whose sanctity transcends England. The Epistle challenges the misuse of wealth and authority; the Gospel demands disciplined virtue, active charity and watchfulness. His example calls Christians today to courageous conscience, faithful family life, spiritual renewal and readiness for Christ’s coming. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/10/13/todays-homily-st-edward-the-confessor-king-of-england...
Saint Wilfrid’s exile became the foundation of Sussex’s Christian mission. Through his fidelity to Rome, practical charity and perseverance amid injustice, he exemplified the faithful servant of the Gospel. His example summons Catholics to continue his apostolic work, nourishing souls through truth, charity and Christ’s Eucharistic sacrifice. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/10/12/todays-homily-wilfrid-of-york/
Celebrating the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this homily explores why her title Mother of God safeguards the truth of the Incarnation. Through the finding of Christ in the Temple, it reflects upon Mary's unwavering faith, Our Lord's humility at Nazareth, and the call to trust, obedience and reverent devotion. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/10/11/todays-homily-divine-maternity-of-mary/
St Denis and his companions proclaimed Christ to pagan Paris and sealed their witness in blood. Through Luke 12:1–9, the homily explores the contrast between hypocrisy and authentic confession, the proper fear of God, divine providence and the Christian's duty to value eternal judgement above worldly approval. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/10/09/todays-homily-st-dennis-bishop-with-rusticus-eleutherius-martyrs/
St Bruno’s life reveals the necessity of silence, vigilance and interior recollection in a distracted age. From Rheims to the Chartreuse and Calabria, he learned to wait upon God with an undivided heart, teaching us to keep the lamp of faith burning until the Master comes. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/10/06/todays-homily-st-bruno/
St Francis of Assisi was not merely the gentle lover of creation remembered by popular culture, but a man radically conformed to Christ Crucified. His poverty, humility, obedience, missionary courage and stigmata reveal the deeper lesson of his feast: the Church is renewed when Christians first allow Christ to remake them. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/10/05/todays-homily-st-francis-of-assisi/
The Holy Rosary gives us the mysteries of Christ to contemplate; the commemorated Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost asks whether we have put them on as the wedding garment of charity. Lepanto recalls a Christian civilisation which defended itself against Ottoman expansion while turning to Our Lady in prayer. Europe today faces a different crisis: not only the confidence of Islam, but widespread Christian apostasy. Before anyone don...
St Jerome’s greatness lay not merely in knowing Scripture, but in allowing Scripture to judge and transform him. His feast calls us to more than correct belief or attachment to Tradition: the Word of God must possess us, purify us, and shape our lives, so that we too may one day say with St Paul, “I have kept the faith.” https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/30/todays-homily-st-jerome-of-bethlehem/
Veritas non mutatur consensu — truth is not altered by agreement. This spiritual conference considers what that principle means not only for the crises confronting the Church and society, but for the individual Catholic soul. Drawing upon the Sunday Gospel, the traditional understanding of the Mass, St Michael and the Guardian Angels, and the saints of the week, it argues that truth must be received rather than manufactured, ...
The Apostles ask, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Saint Michael’s very name supplies the answer: Quis ut Deus? — “Who is like unto God?” From the angelic rebellion to Daniel’s vision of spiritual warfare, from Christ’s victory over Satan to the Guardian Angels and the worship surrounding the altar, the feast teaches that victory begins with humility, obedience and adoratio...
St Wenceslaus ruled amid the violent struggle for the Christian soul of tenth-century Bohemia and was murdered in a conspiracy centred upon his own brother. His martyrdom gives striking flesh to Christ’s warning that a man’s enemies may be those of his own household. Yet today’s Mass reveals the deeper victory: through the palm of martyrdom, the prince who lost an earthly throne received a heavenly crown. His feas...
The Gospel of the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost joins the two great commandments to Christ’s question, “What think you of Christ?” The homily shows that Christian charity is ordered love: God first, neighbour loved in God, truth joined to charity, and Christ confessed not merely as teacher but as Lord. The practical challenge is to surrender the divided parts of life which we still withhold from Him. https://...
The feast of Our Lady of Walsingham gathers together Bethel, Nazareth, Loreto and England’s own Holy House to reveal one great mystery: God desires to dwell with man. Through Mary’s Fiat, the Word took flesh; through grace, the Christian soul becomes His dwelling-place. Walsingham’s destruction and restoration, together with the feast of Our Lady of Ransom, become a summons to personal conversion and to the spirit...
The recent themes of Nuntiatoria have led us from the recovery of reality to the duty of transmission: things are what they are; what is given must be received rather than invented; the deposit must be guarded; the Kingdom of God must come first; names must not be allowed to survive after their substance has disappeared; and sound distinctions must separate development from contradiction. This week the sequence reaches its conclusi...
St Thomas of Villanova returned to God every talent entrusted to him—learning, authority, wealth, time and strength—by spending himself for souls and the poor. His feast warns us that the gifts we bury through fear, comfort or selfishness will form part of our judgement. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/22/todays-homily-st-thomas-of-villanova/
St Matthew’s conversion reveals what happens when divine mercy enters the concrete accounts of a human life. The publican concerned with debts and payments becomes the Apostle of grace, teaching us that conversion touches justice, forgiveness, duty, vocation and the right use of all that God has entrusted to us. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/21/todays-homily-st-matthew-apostle-evangelist/
The martyrdom of St Eustace, his wife Theopista, and their sons Agapius and Theopistus reveals what it means to love God with the whole heart. United with the teaching of the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, their witness calls every Christian household to place Christ above comfort, reputation, prosperity and even life itself. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/20/todays-homily-st-eustace-co-martyrs-xvii-post-pentecost/
St Joseph of Cupertino’s extraordinary levitations point to a greater miracle: the soul raised above earthly desires by humility, obedience and supernatural charity. The Mass teaches that charity is the wedding garment without which even faith, knowledge and remarkable gifts avail nothing; in Holy Communion, Christ Himself draws the poor and humbled soul upwards towards Heaven. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/18/todays-homily...
From serving the lepers he once shunned to receiving Christ’s wounds upon Mount Alvernia, Saint Francis shows how grace transforms a soul through obedient love. His stigmata call us to let the Cross shape our lives, beginning with the particular act of mercy or sacrifice we have been reluctant to offer. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/17/todays-homily-impression-of-the-stigmata-upon-st-francis/
Wednesday in Michaelmas Embertide gathers together the autumn harvest, the proclamation of God’s Law, and Our Lord’s warning that some battles are won only by prayer and fasting. The liturgy asks whether the grace we have received has actually borne fruit in our lives. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/09/16/todays-homily-wednesday-michaelmas-ember/
