FROM THE ARCHBISHOP

5th Sunday of Lent
March 23, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The Lord, who alone has power over life and death, responds, not by immediately performing a miracle but by deepening Martha’s faith, and then by lamenting the death of his friend – for death was never meant to be a part of his heavenly Father’s plan.

Saturday 4th Week of Lent; Knights of Columbus Mass
March 23, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Let none of us (myself included) ever take the Lord for granted. He is not merely a prophet, nor merely a man wiser than the rest of men, but the Incarnate Son of God, the Word made flesh, the Crucified Lord, whose truth we cannot fully fathom and whose love exceeds imagination. To know him, even somewhat, brings joy and consolation.

In Charity & Truth: Mission, Memory, and the Renewal of Our Common Life
March 18, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Long before the founding of the United States, Maryland was an early experiment in religious toleration .That experiment was imperfect and fragile, but it planted a seed that faith and freedom need not be enemies.

Fourth Sunday of Lent
March 17, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
After man born blind was cured, he bore witness to the Lord, just as St. Patrick did after he received the gift of faith. Let us ask the intercession of St. Patrick, that our vision of faith may be luminous, and that we, like him, might bear witness to our faith among family members, friends, and co-workers – and thus help open their eyes to the One "who loves us and gave his life for us."

After celebrating Mass March 18 with the students of Cardinal Shehan School, Father Patrick Carrion, pastor of St. Matthew, asked them a question.

“Who here was born in the 1800s? Anybody? I am sure one of these teachers was,” he asked, as the students giggled.

From Ash Wednesday through the journey toward Easter, these 40 days invite us to slow down, reflect, and return our hearts to what matters most.

As we enter the Fifth Sunday of Lent, the season begins to turn more directly toward the mystery of the Cross. The days ahead invite us to look more closely at Christ’s sacrifice — and the depth of His love for the world.

Our Lenten journey is moving closer to Holy Week, reminding us that renewal often comes through surrender, trust, and a deeper reliance on God’s mercy.

This week, consider:
✨ Letting go of something that has been weighing on your heart through prayer or reconciliation
✨ Offering a small act of sacrifice or service for someone in need

Lent continues to draw us inward — not to discourage us, but to prepare our hearts.

Stay faithful. Stay close to Christ.
Holy Week is near.
