Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Diocesan Fiscal Managers’ Conference

Archdiocese of Baltimore
September 25, 2017
,

Jesus’ final words to us this night seem to imply a divine law of economics: “To anyone who has, more will be given and from the one who has not,  even what he seems to have will be taken away.” Yet, these words of Jesus do not refer either to our charts of accounts or to our investment portfolios. Instead they refer to the capacity of our hearts to hear the Word of God. The more we listen to God’s Word, the greater our capacity to hear Him. The less we listen, the smaller our capacity to hear the Lord’s voice becomes.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 225th Anniversary Closing Mass; St. Ignatius, Hickory

It is always a joy to celebrate Holy Mass at St. Ignatius but never more than today when we bring to a fitting conclusion a year-long celebration of the 225th anniversary of this wonderful parish. During this past year, perhaps more than ever, you have reclaimed your history and your heritage. Even more wonderfully, the grace of God has enabled you to be renewed and deepened in a true missionary spirit – the same spirit that prompted our forebears in the faith  to lay the ground work for this parish so long ago.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Opening Mass of the Holy Spirit, Institute of Notre Dame 170th Anniversary

IND has a long history but every new academic year is a new beginning. Although you have been hard at work for several weeks, we have today the opportunity to mark the beginning of this school year with a Mass invoking the special help of the Holy Spirit – asking that the same Spirit who inspired Bl. Theresa and those pioneering SSND’s, will inspire us in our time, in the opportunities and challenges that lie before us.
