Washington D.C., Oct 1, 2012 \/ 03:11 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio encouraged six Supreme Court justices to allow God to inspire their pursuit of justice and to be a part of the New Evangelization.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe speak so often of the new evangelization, because we recognize that we must be its instruments in all that we do,\u201d Archbishop Broglio said at the 60th annual Red Mass in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\tThe Sept. 30 Mass, which came one day before the start of the Supreme Court's fall session, brought Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Stephen Breyer, Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Anthony Kennedy and Justice Elena Kagan to the Cathedral of St. Matthew.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Broglio, who leads the Archdiocese for the United States Military Services, explained in his homily that \u201cjustice looks only to truth\u201d and for that reason, everyone in the cathedral was gathered \u201cprimarily to pray for you \u2026 as you execute the daunting task assigned to you at various levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tRather than seeing justice as merely an earthly endeavor like the Apostles did before the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the archbishop encouraged those in attendance to allow God \u2013 \u201cthe only Just One\u201d \u2013 to \u201cinspire all that you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe tradition of the Red Mass dates back to Europe over 700 years ago and is an occasion to pray for lawyers, judges and legislators, that God may help them in their work.<\/p>\n

\tThe Mass takes its name from the color of the priests' vestments, which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

\tAs the Church approaches the Oct. 11 start to the Year of Faith, the archbishop explained that Catholics have always expressed their beliefs not only in worship \u201cbut also in witness.\u201d His remarks may also have been an allusion to the ongoing fight between the Obama administration and churches over what the freedom of religion means and its extent.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cFrom the beginning the Church has been active in society to make a contribution, especially to the care of the poor, but also to education,\u201d he said. \u201cWe cannot separate who we are from how we live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Broglio encouraged prayer for \u201call of those gathered here that they might welcome the strength of the Holy Spirit and the interior dynamism with which he fills our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe noted that although such a \u201cmission is always audacious,\u201d it is possible \u201cwith the gifts of the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tReferencing the reading from the Book of Numbers, Archbishop Broglio said that even though God lead his people out of Egypt, he still left them with \u201ca structure and system to govern them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe D.C. Red Mass, which has been sponsored by the John Carroll society since 1953, is considered the most prominent because of its attendance by Supreme Court justices.<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, served as the main celebrant of the Mass.<\/p>\n

\tThe only justices absent from the Mass were Sonia Sotomayor and Samuel Alito, both of whom are Catholic, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is Jewish.<\/p>\n
