Today’s homily: Popes SS Soter & Caius, Martyrs (2026)

On the feast of Popes St Soter and St Caius, the Church in Paschaltide sets before the faithful two Roman Pontiffs who governed amid persecution yet preserved discipline, sacramental integrity, and apostolic continuity. Drawing from the Mass “Sancti tui” and the Gospel of the Vine and the Branches, the homily contrasts their fidelity with contemporary temptations toward adaptation and ambiguity. It calls the faithful to abide in Christ through doctrine, discipline, and daily witness, warning that when formation is weakened, truth is soon lost. In an age of uncertainty, the path remains clear: remain in the Vine, hold fast to what has always been believed, and become, in every state of life, a voice of the Eternal Shepherd. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/04/22/todays-mass-april-22-popes-st-soter-st-caius/
