Archbishop Lori’s Talk – “Virtue and Its Rewards” with the Order of Malta
February 22, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
That God bestows virtue upon us doesn’t mean we don’t have to lift a finger. It means we need to gain a fuller understanding of what virtue is, how it relates to the totality of our humanity, and how it relates to what we believe as faithful Catholics.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 6th Sunday, St. Alphonsus Rodriquez
February 17, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Behind the text of Matthew’s Gospel is the bedrock truth of our faith, that this obscure Rabbi from Galilee was, and is, the Incarnate Son of God: He is the Word made flesh, the very embodiment of the Torah, not as it is written on tablets of stone, but as it is inscribed on the mind of God.

February 11, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
It is the Lord who called me and chose me – called me to be his follower and called me to be his adopted son – and then called me to be a priest. “It is not you who chose me, but I who chose you.”

As we continue our journey through Lent, the Church gently reminds us that every Friday of this sacred season is a day of required abstinence.

All Catholics age 14 and older are asked to abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent, uniting this small sacrifice with the saving sacrifice of Christ. Each Friday calls us to remember the day our Lord gave His life for us — a simple act of penance offered in love and gratitude.

Abstinence is more than an obligation; it is an invitation. In giving up something ordinary, we make room for grace. In embracing a small sacrifice, we turn our hearts more fully toward God as we prepare for the joy of Easter.

Let us walk this Lenten path together — faithfully, prayerfully, and with hope. ✝️
