Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Solemnity of St. Joseph; Catholic Mens Fellowship of Maryland Conference

Gathered at St. Joseph Parish on the Feast of St. Joseph, it seems to me that we are invited to reflect on who St. Joseph is and what his life and example means to us as Catholic men of the 21st century.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 2nd Sunday of Lent; Pueri Cantores; St. Patrick’s Day Parade Mass

Even as we depart anew from the slavery of sin towards the freedom of holiness, let us resolve to influence the culture all around us, moving it from a godless secularity that enslaves so many people towards a renewed vision of faith in whose light human dignity is seen and a civilization of justice, love,...

Finally, let us beseech the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, the Queen of Peace.

Thank you for the privilege of addressing you this morning. May...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Homily for the 8th Week in Ordinary Time

It’s no secret that we live in angry culture, awash in angry words. Individually, we cannot change that, but we can contribute to a more peaceful world by resolving to tone down our rhetoric and to speak the truth in love.

In this centennial year of his birth, we thank God for this good and faithful priest, for his openness to the work of the spirit, for the ways he gave to others what he first revived, for the ways he showed the relevance of faith to the needs of the human heart, and the way...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Our Lady of Lourdes; Knights of Columbus Board Meeting

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.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
