The Canonical Old Roman Catholic Clerical Directory

Nuntiatoria (Quadragesima III) centers on the theme Vigila Vincas—”Watch and Conquer”—urging Christians to active spiritual vigilance and interior renewal during Lent. It emphasizes that conversion is a lifelong process requiring not only the rejection of sin but the filling of the soul with grace, lest spiritual emptiness invite greater evils. The issue explores Lent’s ancient practices like the Scrutinies and minor exorcisms, advocates for disciplined self-examination, and offers practical liturgical and pastoral guidance. It also critically engages with contemporary issues including gender ideology, safeguarding in traditionalist circles, and the legacy of Amoris Laetitia.
