Today’s homily: St George the Great Martyr, Patron of England (2026)

On the feast of Saint George, the Church proclaims not legend but witness: a soldier who stood before power, confessed Christ, and conquered through martyrdom. The homily unveils the true meaning of the icon—the dragon as the ancient enemy, the maiden as the Church, the victory as fidelity—and applies it to the contemporary crisis in England, where truth is obscured and Christian witness is pressured into silence. Rejecting both nostalgia and compromise, it calls the faithful to abide in Christ, to speak clearly, to form their households, and to embrace the cost of discipleship, insisting that the renewal of the nation will come not through politics alone, but through conversion, courage, and the lived witness of the faithful. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/04/23/todays-mass-april-23-st-george-martyr/
