Today’s homily: St Joachim, Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary (2026)

Saint Joachim stands quietly at the threshold of the Incarnation: father of the Blessed Virgin, grandfather according to the flesh of Our Lord, and model of hidden fidelity, stewardship, charity, and persevering hope. The Propers of his feast, the genealogy of Christ, the mystery of the Assumption, and the Good Samaritan together reveal how God works through generations, unseen sacrifices, and faithful households until all things converge upon Christ, present upon the altar. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/08/16/todays-homily-st-joachim-father-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/
