Archbishop Lori Homily: Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
June 8, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
It is because of his humility, both divine and human, that Jesus courageously led the way into the valley of death, riding our humanity like a chariot into the abyss of sin and death, defeating Satan and his minions, not with the force and bluster, but with a sacrificial love, infinite in its goodness and powerful in its humility.

Archbishop Lori Homily: Knights of Columbus State Chaplains’ Meeting
June 8, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The truth is that many are coming to the Church to escape ennui – the same old diatribes and insults hurled on social media, the oft-repeated resentments, weariness from having to choose sides, fatigue induced by being measured by “likes” or bullied by “dislikes”, fatigue brought on by the isolation and loneliness endemic in our culture.

With joyful hearts, we celebrate newly ordained transitional Deacon Michael Moore as he reflects on his journey of faith, his call to serve the Church, and the final steps toward the priesthood.

His witness is a beautiful reminder of the power of saying “yes” to God’s call and trusting in where the Lord leads. Please continue to pray for Deacon Michael and all our transitional deacons as they continue their journey toward the priesthood and faithful service to the Church. 🙏

“To consecrate ourselves to the Sacred Heart is ultimately to accept Christ’s invitation to remain in His love and to allow that love to shape every aspect of our lives, public and private,” Archbishop Lori said. “It is a declaration that the future does not belong merely to political movements, economic forces, or human plans. The future belongs to God.”

❤️ Archbishop William E. Lori called the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus an invitation to place our trust in the Lord's unfailing love.

As he reflected on the power of the Sacred Heart to reconcile divisions and transform hearts, he encouraged the faithful to turn to Christ with renewed hope and confidence. 🙏
