Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Red Mass, Diocese of Kansas City

We are indebted to those Jesuit priests, many of whose names are lost to history, and we are also obligated to follow in their footsteps. For regaining confidence in human reason for unchanging moral truth and buttressing it with the light of biblical revelation are crucial to a future full of hope and peace, for...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

By opening our hearts to the Word of God, by taking part in the Mass and the Sacraments, we share, a real and deeply personal way, in the love that prompted God the Father to send us his only Son for the forgiveness of our sins.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Vigil Service and Promotions; Middle Atlantic Lieutenancy

As baptized Catholics, we share in the death and resurrection of Jesus. But we are also Knights and Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre. This means that we are called upon to be strong, virtuous, and courageous in our defense of the faith and charity toward those in need, and in our mission to foster the...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time; Knights of Columbus Board Meeting

If everything, including our very lives, belongs to God, what’s left for Caesar? Do we grudgingly pay our taxes, vote periodically for the lesser of two evils, and separate plastic from paper when taking out the trash? Or might there be something more we can contribute to government and society?

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Saturday of the 28th Week of Ordinary Time; Knights of Columbus Board Meeting

As we grow in prayer and holiness, something truly wonderful happens. We become those servants who are at once clever and wise who know when to speak, what to say, and how to say it – in ways that will enable the Lord’s message to be heard.

Archbishop Lori’s Talk: Current State of Religious Freedom in the United States

I am neither a lawyer nor a sociologist but as a priest and bishop I can see how fast law and culture are changing. The words of Pope Francis ring true, when he said: “We are living not in an era of change but in the change of an era.” In this new era, the influence...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Group Confirmations

In the Gospel Jesus compares the Church to a vineyard. Its owner and grower is no mere human being but God himself. And just as an ordinary owner would plant the best vineyard he could, so God gave to the Church everything we need to become the good, virtuous, and holy people God intends us to...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: White Mass

Ten days from now, the Church will celebrate the Feast of St. Luke – St. Luke the great evangelist and also the patron of physicians – for, as Tradition attests, St. Luke was himself a physician, first of the body and then of the spirit.

Dear friends, inspired by the religious for whom we pray tonight and confident in the intercession of Mary, the Mother of the Church, may we in our time make the Church fruitful by reflecting in our lives the holiness of Christ to the glory of God the Father.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Our Lady of the Rosary; Maryland Women’s Conference

Let us not underestimate the power of this prayer that, through Mary’s intercession, brings us to the heart of salvation history, and helps open our hearts to the power of the Spirit, just as Mary’s was.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary Annual Alumni Reunion

On this feast of St. Francis of Assisi, I note that Bl. Stanley’s middle name was Francis and that he lived his priesthood in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. Like Francis, Father Rother lived simply, was close to nature, and devoted his life utterly to bringing the Gospel to the poor.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Annual Pilgrimage for the Sea Services

Aboard this ship, there is only one Captain, namely, the Christ. Just as the Captain occupies a unique role on the ship, even so Christ is utterly unique and irreplaceable in the Church and in human history. For he is the only Son of God, sent by the Father into the world to take upon...
