Red Mass for the Diocese of Fort Worth

September 29, 2022
St. Patrick Cathedral
Fort Worth, TX

1 Kings 3:5-12
Psalm 138:1-2ab, 2cde-3, 4-5
Revelation 12:7-12b
John 1:47-51

This evening God calls us together to worship Him and to seek the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit on all judges, civic officials, magistrates, and lawyers who are to be engaged in the authentic ministry of justice and law directed to human flourishing and the common good of our society. Divine Providence has designed that we should come together for this sacred mystery on the Feast of the Archangels, Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, and Saint Raphael — who each administer, respectively, God’s power, God’s strength, and God’s remedy, three things that are very much needed today in our society and especially in the lives and work of those committed to the service of law and justice.
