Baltimore Archbishop William Lori came out publicly on April 8 in condemning the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran. “At a time when the threat of expanded conflict and the suffering of innocent lives weigh heavily upon the conscience of the world, we are reminded that the deliberate targeting of civilians and the escalation of war can never be morally justified,” Lori said in a statement. Lori has encouraged all of the diocese’s parishes to “become places of light in a darkened world…. In the face of fear, division, and violence, we must become witnesses to a different way—the way of prayer, solidarity, and sacrificial love,” Lori said.
A Vigil for Peace will take place Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore.
