Looking back and called forward: A commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation

What we are about this evening is so much more than what might appear to an unknowing onlooker. We are in fact responding to the call of our dear Pope Francis, the man of peace and reconciliation, “to be bold and creative, joyful and hopeful in [our] commitment to continue the great journey ahead of...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Catholic Men’s Fellowship Conference

This is a pretty good thing for us to think about as Lent winds down: to give God the credit, the thanks, the praise, the adoration, by spending time in prayer, by attending Mass devoutly, and whenever possible eucharistic adoration.

Archbishop Lori’s Talk – “Your Face, Lord, Do I Seek (Ps. 27:8): Reflections on Contemporary Atheism and Belief”

This afternoon I don’t have to craft a thirty second elevator speech but I have been asked to deal with the vast topic of atheism in forty-five minutes. I can do that adequately but I can at least offer you some reflections so that you can write your own “elevator speech” – your own succinct...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily – IVE Mass

In less than a minute, Jesus cut to the chase, the core of the Law, the Torah, with its 613 prescriptions – with all its laws, rules, and regulations. The Lord not only summed them up but he was also the first to link so clearly love of God and love of neighbor.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily – 3rd Sunday of Lent; Mass for Baltimore Police Force

Clearly, enacting just laws is not enough. Nor is it enough to cajole and even force people to be law abiding, as important and necessary as that can be for the sake of public safety. Something more is needed and it’s this: all of us, myself included, need to have the temple of our hearts...

Archbishop Lori’s Remarks – Opening Remarks; Social Ministry Convocation

Dr. King’s principles in fact take us to the heart of the Gospel and at the same time to the heart of our own social teaching. They are aimed at the conversion of our hearts not as a head trip but rather as an impetus for action – as a way of resisting injustice peacefully...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily – Saturday 2nd Week of Lent; Mass for Consecrated Life

Like the saints of Baltimore and like St. Katharine Drexel, you, our jubilarians, have set your sights not on earthly power, money, pleasure, or success – but rather on the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Mercy, which Jesus came to inaugurate in our midst.

Archbishop Lori’s Talk – Malta Lenten Day of Recollection

Any day is a good day for a profound conversion of mind and heart – but I would submit that the Lord, through the Church, gives us the season of Lent so that we might dig deeper into those layers of clay and rock, those sins and sinful attitudes, even those that remain hidden from...

Archbishop Lori’s Sermon – Ecumenical Service, Morgan State University

All that we have comes from God has his gift to us. Let us then give thanks to those who gone before us in faith, resolving that we will live the faith they exemplified in our day, in our time, in our communities for the glory of God and for good of others.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily – On the Recent Pastoral Letter and Racism; 1st Sunday of Lent
