Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Synod on Synodality Opening Mass
October 17, 2021Archbishop William E. Lori
The path of synodality, journeying together in faith and on mission, is not easy. As this process unfolds, we may become more aware of what divides us. Yet, if we are open to the Holy Spirit, who reminds us of all that Christ taught us, we will find new paths to understanding, to harmony, cooperation, and unity, to co-responsibility for the Church’s mission, coupled with renewed apostolic vigor.

Michael’s canonization when we speak of his charity “to the widow, the orphan, and the outcast,” and refer to him as “an apostle of family life.”
