We need a community of solidarity to support and help us as we walk through this valley of darkness (cf. Ps 23:4). When we join together as one family in fostering fraternity and justice, our initiatives are strengthened and more effective. 3/3

The unspeakable horror of the tragedy after the Lapu Lapu Day Festival leaves us grieving and deeply disturbed. 1/3

On this sombre Day of Remembrance and Mourning, declared by the Province of British Columbia, we recognize that our lives are bound together and that we cannot face tragedy isolated from one another. 2/3

May our merciful Lord bring healing to all who are suffering, and may our Blessed Mother comfort every broken heart. 5/5

Leading with humility, he called us to a renewed closeness to Jesus and a missionary spirit that reaches to the peripheries. His vision of synodality—a Church that listens, discerns and walks together—profoundly shapes our local Church today. 3/6

[Archbishop Miller @archbmiller]

Inspired by his declaration of an Extraordinary Missionary Month in October 2019, we launched Proclaim, a movement that awakens disciples to proclaim Jesus. The Pope’s challenge to embrace missionary discipleship continues to guide our evangelization efforts today. 5/6

[Archbishop Miller @archbmiller]

His deep love for the poor, unwavering commitment to peace, and bold witness to Christ’s message of love and reconciliation have inspired millions of people everywhere. 2/6

It is with great sorrow that I join the faithful of the @archvancouver, and Catholics around the world, in mourning the passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis.

Pope Francis was a tireless shepherd of the Church, a beacon of hope, and a champion of the Gospel. 1/6

[Archbishop Miller @archbmiller]

“I have risen and I am with you still.”

May these words resound in all our hearts as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus this Easter. After his Death on the cross, He has conquered sin and death.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Sorrows, accompany you this Holy Week and lead you to an ever more profound understanding of the greatness of what the Lord has done for us by his Cross and Resurrection, which have set us free.

[Archbishop Miller @archbmiller]

Dear friends: this Holy Week, I ask you to take some quiet time to read one of the four Gospel accounts of the Passion.

[Archbishop Miller @archbmiller]

Situate yourself within the narrative and let yourself be moved by what Jesus has done for you by his suffering and death on the Cross. At the same time, ask him to open your heart to recognize and relieve his ongoing suffering in those around you.
