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.

Desde el Miércoles de Ceniza hasta la Pascua, estos 40 días nos invitan a detenernos, reflexionar y centrar nuestros corazones en lo que más importa.

Esta semana, considera:
✨ Dedicar 10 minutos extra cada día a la oración
✨ Dejar atrás algún hábito que te distraiga de Dios
✨ Acercarte a alguien que necesite aliento

La Cuaresma no se trata de perfección, sino de transformación. Un pequeño paso a la vez, con fe.

From Ash Wednesday through the journey toward Easter, these 40 days invite us to slow down, reflect, and return our hearts to what matters most.

This week, consider:
✨ Setting aside 10 extra minutes each day for prayer
✨ Letting go of one habit that distracts you from God
✨ Reaching out to someone who may need encouragement

Lent isn’t about perfection — it’s about transformation. One small, faithful step at a time.
