OSV Talks: Archbishop William E. Lori

We are good at offering the sign of peace at Mass. We are not always as good at carrying that peace into the parking lot, the dinner table, comment sections or group chats.

In his OSV Talk, “Blessed Are the Peacemakers,” Archbishop William E. Lori, Archbishop of Baltimore, explores Christian peacemaking and how Catholics can approach difficult conversations with greater charity. He offers three simple practices for conversations that divide us:

• pray before reacting
• listen before labeling
• love before concluding
