FROM THE ARCHBISHOP

Thursday 5th Week of Lent
March 27, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The sum of expertise and dedication gathered here is beyond reckoning. Thank you for your love for the Lord, for his Church, and for the young people and families whom you serve and form in faith, virtue, knowledge, and generosity to those in need.

Monday 5th Week of Lent
March 26, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Not all of us are called to heroic discipleship like Ignatius, but each of us is called to holiness and to some work God that God has entrusted to no one else.

5th Sunday of Lent
March 23, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The Lord, who alone has power over life and death, responds, not by immediately performing a miracle but by deepening Martha’s faith, and then by lamenting the death of his friend – for death was never meant to be a part of his heavenly Father’s plan.

Saturday 4th Week of Lent; Knights of Columbus Mass
March 23, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Let none of us (myself included) ever take the Lord for granted. He is not merely a prophet, nor merely a man wiser than the rest of men, but the Incarnate Son of God, the Word made flesh, the Crucified Lord, whose truth we cannot fully fathom and whose love exceeds imagination. To know him, even somewhat, brings joy and consolation.

Each Friday during Lent, the Church invites us to pause and remember the love of Christ poured out on the Cross.

As part of this sacred season, Catholics age 14 and older abstain from meat on Fridays. This simple act of penance helps unite our small sacrifice with Christ’s great sacrifice and gently refocus our hearts on Him.

What may seem like a small change to our routine can become something meaningful — a moment to pray, give thanks, and grow closer to God.

Across the Archdiocese, many parishes also host Friday Fish Fries and Lenten meals, offering a chance to gather in fellowship while observing this Lenten tradition together.

Looking for a Fish Fry near you?
Find one here: https://www.archbalt.org/lenten-resources/directory-friday-fish-fries/

Let this Lenten Friday be an opportunity to pray, sacrifice, and walk a little closer with Christ. ✝️
