Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time; World Day of the Sick Mass

If, amid sickness, we discern the direction of our lives, and lucidly examine the quality of our interior life, rekindle hope of everlasting life and learn anew the lesson of compassion – then our illness will not be wasted but become a great grace for ourselves and others.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time; Conclusion of Men’s Conference and Parish Mass at St. Joseph Parish, Half-Way

Scripture challenges us to ask ourselves what do we need to be like to be ready for heaven, to love as Christ did, to love like the great saints, and even the angels.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes; Catacombs of St. Sebastian

May I suggest that here at St. Sebastian we seek for the courage we need to be the Lord’s witnesses amid the opposition of the world around us, including, as Pope Francis puts it, the world’s “polite persecutions” and the bloody persecutions of Christians in many parts of the world.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: BVM Votive Mass; Our Lady Help of Christians

Mary, help of Christians, teaches us both trust and fortitude. As Mary arrived at the house of her cousin Elizabeth, her cousin said of her, “Blessed is she who trusted that the Lord’s words to her would be fulfilled.”

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

We take part in Mass, the Paschal Sacrifice of the Incarnate Son of God, under the gaze of the Blessed Virgin Mary, “Salus Populi Romani”.

What is especially beautiful about the Scriptures is that God is speaking through our human language, through our many cultures – so that he might reach us now – as a Church and as individual members of the Church.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time; “Life Is Beautiful” Mass

No one is a mere statistic. No one is a mere condition. Every human life has worth and beauty in God’s eyes, and if that is so, every human life must have worth and beauty in our eyes.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Vocations Discernment Retreat; St. Mary’s Seminary and University

When the Lord calls, he also gives us the grace to answer the call. And even when the Lord asks things of us that seem to be above and beyond, rest assured that the Lord will unfold his plan for your life a step at a time, as I have discovered to my astonishment and...

I firmly believe that the quiet faith that inspires so many large and small good works in our City has been – and will be – the ultimate saving grace that brings us forward. May each of us keep alive that Faith in Baltimore throughout 2020, and for many generations to come.
