When I meet with couples who have been married 50 or 60 years, it is always the tough times they say brought them together. As Saint Paul says, strength is perfected in suffering. Here's my homily from this morning's Mass:

In today's Gospel, Jesus gives us a lesson on prayer. He tells us that our prayer needs to be pestering and we need to keep at it, like Saint Bruno did. We celebrate his feast today.

On today's show, Father Dave Dwyer and I talked about my trip today to the Terence Cardinal Cooke Center. They just opened up a beautiful new center named for Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini.

I suppose you, like me, get concerned when we hear dreary reports about people leaving the Church. It's sad, but not new, if you listen to Saint Paul in this morning's reading.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I'm supposed to preach good news, but at first glance this morning's reading seems anything but good. Sometimes all we see is division, but that's only half of it. Good News will surely come.

Today we commemorate Saint Wenceslaus, a 10th century Bohemian martyr, and San Lorenzo Ruiz, a 17th century Filipino martyr. Since Saint Stephen, the first martyr, the Church reminds us that there is no greater love than to give one's life for another. My homily from today.

Here's my homily from this morning's Mass. I have a beautiful icon of Lazarus meeting Saint Vincent de Paul. He truly puts the parable of Lazarus into action:

On today's show, I talked about my recent trips to our schools and parishes. Last Sunday I was able to visit a dynamic, vibrant parish, as I blessed the new parish center. This is what parish life is about. Listen to this and more topics we discussed here

In this morning's reading, we see a good example from an unlikely source. We all need to be intrigued and fascinated by Jesus. It's a lifelong venture.

We're back this week with another episode of my show. Father Dave Dwyer and I discussed UN Week in NYC this week. The persecution of the Church throughout the world is top of my mind.

Here's my homily from this morning's Mass. Taking our cue from God's teaching in the Bible, I want to talk about the right way to use the abundant blessings God gives us. You can watch it here:

Here's my homily from this morning's Mass. This is a refreshing time of the year, isn't it? It's also a good time to celebrate the birth of Mary because it indicates the greatest new beginning ever, the birth of our Savior.

Welcome! We're back for our Conversation with Cardinal Dolan show season premiere. I talked about my recent meetings in Rome with the entire College of Cardinals. We reviewed the new document on the reform of the Curia, among other things.

Welcome from Rome! My brother Cardinals and I are here for two days of meetings. Did you know Pope Francis created 20 new Cardinals on Saturday? This includes Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego who joins us on today's show. Listen here:

Today Katie McGrady and I interviewed Knights of Columbus leaders and the Sewell family, recipients of the 2022 Knights of Columbus International Family of the Year Award, for The Catholic Channel on SiriusXM Radio.

Jesus not only changed the names of Simon and Saul to Peter and Paul, but the very direction of their lives and identity. Here's my homily from this morning's Mass

On today's SiriusXM show, it's our first time with live guests in the studio in two years! Father Dave and I discuss the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling and our country returning to its original intent - the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The glory of God is man fully alive. Have you ever heard that statement? That sums up what we might call Christian anthropology. Here's my homily from this morning's Mass

Can we call Mary the mother of God? That was a debate early in the Church. Saint Cyril said Jesus is true God and true man in one person. He has two natures and Mary is the mother of that person

We're celebrating the nativity of Saint John the Baptist today because tomorrow we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I don't think John the Baptist would mind though. He is the one who said he will decrease, so the Lamb of God can increase.
