Today’s homily: Ember Friday in Lent (2026)

On Ember Friday in Lent, at the stational Basilica of the Twelve Apostles, the Church calls the faithful to decisive conversion. Through Ezechiel’s uncompromising summons to personal responsibility and Christ’s command to the paralytic, “Arise, take up thy bed, and walk,” we are confronted with the question: Do we truly want to be made whole? Fasting, repentance, and prayer unite clergy and laity in apostolic fidelity and renewed life in grace. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/02/27/todays-mass-february-27-ember-friday-in-lent/
