Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Catholic Schools Convocation 2018

There are many things that make our Catholic schools special but one of the main factors in their excellence is yourselves. Your faithfulness, your care and concern for your students and their families, your dedication above and beyond, your competence in the classroom and beyond – all of this makes our schools wonderful places of...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Memorial of the Beheading of John the Baptist

Stay close to Mary, ask her to intercede for you and for your classmates and do count on my prayers even as I ask you to pray for me now and again.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

It would be wonderful if we could always arrive for Mass with only joy and hope. Yet most of us, myself included, celebrate this Mass with a sense of grief and anguish. It is a grief and an anguish brought about by the sexual abuse crisis that continues to trouble deeply even the most faithful...

Archbishop Lori’s remarks at the Pre-World Youth Day Pilgrimage

Our happiness, our fulfillment, lies in giving everything back to God, not just what we have but our very lives. And we give our lives back to the Lord when we worship him, when we strive to lead good and virtuous lives, embrace whatever vocation we are called to, and when we serve the poor and vulnerable.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

As a bishop, I am deeply humbled by such abject failure as I stand before you tonight, and not only humbled but haunted by the enormity and evil of this crisis. As best I can, I shall strive to listen to and walk with the laity in searching for and implementing meaningful and further reforms.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time/Patronal Feast of Cathedral of Mary Our Queen

The only way forward in this difficult hour is to center our lives on Christ and through Christ to give the Spirit access to our hearts. In that way, instead of clergy and laity growing apart from one another, we will strive in God’s grace to repair broken relationships, to heal those who have been...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Mount St. Mary’s Seminary Opening Mass

This is not a mere public relations crisis. It represents a tsunami of moral failures – grave acts of commission and omission – that have justifiably bewildered and angered God’s people and undercut the Church’s evangelizing mission.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Solemnity of the Assumption

We celebrate Mary’s triumph in a moment that feels rather like the Church’s nadir. Mary, who witnessed the betrayal of her son and the cowardice of his disciples, knows, better than we do, what we are going through, why we feel as we do, and she is close to us with an amazingly tender maternal love . ....

Archbishop Lori’s concluding remarks at the 136th Knights of Columbus Convention

As you’d imagine, there are various proposals on how to move forward. Whatever takes shape, I think it will be important that it is rooted in deep repentance on the part of bishops, that it entails openness and honesty, that it involves the laity, and that is more than a matter of new policies and...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Opening Mass of the 136th Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus

In serving the vulnerable and the poor, we practice “a charity that evangelizes,” a charity that, in spite of obstacles, opens minds and hearts to Christ and the Gospel.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord

If, in the frailness of our humanity we would participate in Christ’s glory, then let us be good servants of a holy solidarity in the Church of God, even in these days when charity, unity and fraternity can seem out of reach.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Knights of Columbus Pre-Convention Mass

But we learn from Father McGivney and from Monsignor Art that the greatest thing we can have in our lives is true intimacy with Jesus, eucharistic intimacy with Jesus, a true spiritual closeness in which our souls are not only nourished, but in which they become capable of loving God and others even more than...
