To truly honor those we lost and the legendary courage of our first responders, we must never forget. Let no one believe that terrorism or violence can ever resolve injustice. Instead, let each of us ask whether we are actively fostering a more peaceful world or fueling division within our own spheres of influence.

Then, let us bow before the Lord, “who will judge the world with justice and the peoples with his truth” (Ps 96).

Catholics throughout the Archdiocese of Baltimore will receive their second opportunity in less than five years to encounter, venerate and pray with the relics of a saint who has led countless Catholics to Christ through the Blessed Mother.

A reliquary of St. Bernadette will make visits to three sites within the archdiocese in September, some of the earliest parts of a national journey the relics will take in the next 12 months.

The first comes Sept. 22-23 at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Emmitsburg. Pilgrims can then venerate her twice in the immediate Baltimore area, Sept. 24-25 at the Pastorate of Christ the King (Glen Burnie) and St. Bernadette in Severn, and Sept. 26-27 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Homeland. The saint’s relics last traveled to Baltimore in May 2022.
