Only by participating in Christ love, only by sharing it, welcoming it into our hearts, do we find the grace and strength we need to forgive our enemies and to love them.

Though reigning in heaven, Mary remains close to us, her children. The Blessed Mother wants nothing more than to bring forth in us the image of her Son – the Christ of the Beatitudes.

Only the grace of the Holy Spirit can open our spiritual eyes and ears. Even so, it is not easy. We resist. We evade. We rationalize. We harden our hearts. Think of St. Augustine’s conversion described in his Confessions where he says to God, “You called, shouted, broke through my deafness; you flared, blazed, banished my blindness; you lavished your fragrance, I gasped and now I pant for you. I tasted you, and now I hunger and thirst. you touched me and I burned for your peace.”

If Christ’s Name is emblazoned in our hearts, unworthy and limited as we are, we can be confident that his truth and love will shine in us and through us, spreading truth and goodness, joy and hope, peace and good will, no matter who we are, where we are, or what we may be facing.

When we allow the Spirit to fill our hearts with Jesus’ self-giving love, then we begin to love as he loved and to live as he lived – not perfectly – but enough that we can find the wherewithal to believe, to hope, and to endure, even when the road is winding, the fog hangs low, and the trumpet is uncertain.

From around the world, tributes have poured in honoring the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu. I wish to add my voice to these tributes, in praise of a courageous church leader who championed racial justice in South Africa and around the world. His life and his passing powerfully remind us that the struggle for racial justice and equity must continue in all the communities that are part of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. May Archbishop Tutu’s soul rest in the peace of Christ.

Archbishop Lori on facing the realities of abortion

Archbishop William E. Lori

January 24, 2022

From the Archbishop

“The Church has been consistent about the reality of abortion: it is wrong,” the archbishop wrote. “This teaching is rooted in experience. Abortion is not merely an idea, but a tragic reality that takes innocent lives and often leads to a lifetime of regret for women. Nor is the Church’s teaching on abortion a mere idea but a response of love, a call to protect the unborn child in the womb and the well-being of the mother. Certainly, it is important to engage these issues in an intellectually rigorous way. Likewise, discussions on rights in our society are vitally important. But the Church’s response is not merely an abstract discourse about rights or an intellectual claim, it is a call to act that is rooted in the reality that every human life is a sacred gift from God.”

Archbishop Lori Homily, From the Archbishop

Embracing the Scriptures as truly the Word of God, as truly words of spirit and life, let us now proceed to lift up our hearts as the Lord gives himself for us anew, in the reenactment of his death and resurrection and in our reception of his Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist.

Archbishop Lori Homily, From the Archbishop

Let us reject the tools of the culture of death. Let us not “fight fire with fire.” Instead, let us immerse ourselves in the Gospel of Life, allowing the Incarnate Lord Jesus to shed his incomparable light on us and on the dignity of every human life, on both mother and child, on the frail elderly, and on all those who are vulnerable and struggling.
