LINCOLN (SNR) – Bishop James Conley will celebrate the Red Mass Tuesday Jan. 19, to pray for all those in the legal profession.
It will be held at 7 a.m. in St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center, 320 N. 16th St., Lincoln.
The Catholic Lawyers Guild of the Diocese of Lincoln especially invites members of the legal profession: judges, legislators, attorneys, government officials, and law students. The group provides a forum for addressing ethical and spiritual questions related to the legal profession in a practical way.
The Red Mass, instituted in the 13th century and celebrated throughout the United States, is an annual celebration by the Church for judges, legislators, attorneys, government officials, and law students. Recalling the “tongues of fire” that descended on the Apostles, the celebrants adorn red vestments and pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit for all in the legal field in service to the public and justice.
The event is free and open to the public. Family and coworkers are also invited to share in this annual tradition in Lincoln. An RSVP is requested in order to plan for social distancing and food.
After the Mass, all are invited to a light breakfast and presentation given by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse entitled, “The Sexual Revolution: The Church was Right all along, and we can prove it!”
Dr. Morse is the founder of the Ruth Institute and as a Catholic economist and writer is passionate about equipping family advocates with the knowledge and confidence to defend the family at home and in the public square.
Her talk will expose the errors of elite ideologies and include strategies for combating the Sexual Revolution and making the case for traditional Judeo-Christian sexual morality.
One of the newest books by Dr. Morse is “The Sexual Revolution and Its Victims: Thirty-Five Prophetic Articles Spanning Two Decades.”
Dr. Morse was named one of the “Catholic Stars of 2013” on a list that included Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI.
