Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time; “Life is Beautiful” Mass

And so, it is a courageous and beautiful exercise of our freedom of expression to proclaim to those in power and to our fellow citizens that life itself is beautiful, and that, therefore, as a nation, we need to repent of the destruction of the unborn.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time; Sunday of the Word of God

As we listen to the voice of Christ and sense his presence in the Scriptures, we too can experience the power of God’s Word that propelled Jonah to preach and we too can be convinced to repent as did the residents of Nineveh.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: The Baptism of Our Lord

If more us, who are disciples of the Lord and members of the Church would personify the values of the Gospel in our own lives, and then bring those same values into the public square, I am confident, that our democracy would not only survive but flourish.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 200th Anniversary of the Death of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

It seems to me that St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is a patron to whom we can all relate, and if you want my opinion, next to the Blessed Virgin Mary, she is an ideal patron for the Church in the United States!

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Epiphany Sunday

On this Epiphany Sunday, may we join together in praying that the light which attracted the Magi from afar may now shine brightly on the Church’s face, so that many who are far from the LORD and the Church will be attracted to him by us and by the witness of our lives.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Holy Family Sunday

In an age when people find long-term commitment difficult, I think of Mom and Dad. When they were married in 1947, little did they know what their wedding vows would mean in practical terms: “to love one another in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health.”

Throughout this past difficult year, when the usual props in our lives were kicked out from under us, we may have found ourselves wondering more profoundly about the meaning of life and the purpose of our existence. If we took time to pray and to reflect, we may have discovered, without leaving home, something vaster,...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Fourth Sunday of Advent

An old Christmas song tells us, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”. For many of you, Christmas is indeed a wonderful time of year, especially if you have children and grandchildren. Many of us enjoy Christmas concerts, lessons and carols, holiday parties and gatherings, along with shopping, gift-giving and much more. But, of...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Third Sunday of Advent

The “comfort and joy” the Lord offers us is not an escape but rather a remedy, a remedy for the soul, a remedy for our heart of hearts.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Second Sunday of Advent

My prayer is that your hearts will be filled with hope and expectation, that hope which does “not disappoint”, for indeed, in this holy season of Advent ‘the love of God is being poured into our hearts abundantly’ (Cf. Rom. 5:5), “as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.”
