Today’s homily: Octave Day of the Holy Innocents (2026)

On the Octave Day the Church lays aside mourning and proclaims victory. Clothed in red, she reveals the Holy Innocents as true martyrs who reign with the Lamb. Though they did not choose, they died for Christ and stand as His first-fruits. Their triumph judges every age that sacrifices children to power or ideology and summons the faithful to defend life, truth, and innocence with courage and fidelity. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/01/04/todays-mass-january-4-octave-day-of-the-feast-of-the-holy-innocents/
