Cardinal Dolan situates this feast within the context of its history and explains how fitting it is to honor Mary, the Holy Mother of God on this New Year’s Day.

On Christmas Day, the New York Daily News published an op-ed article that I wrote on the persecution of Christians. I thought you might want to read it. Here is an excerpt from my op-ed: This coming weekend, Christians throughout our land will jam churches to celebrate the birthday of Jesus, accepting the angels’ invitation from the midnight skies over Bethlehem to “come, let us adore Him!,” the infant they believe to be their Lord and savior.

The good news of Christmas, Cardinal Dolan reminds us, is not just that God once came to the world, but that God comes to us each and every day.

Yesterday, my co-host, Father Dave Dwyer, and I had the pleasure of interviewing best selling author Mary Higgins Clark for our weekly radio show , A Conversation with the Archbishop , on Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

Cardinal Dolan teaches us that God, like an art restorer, renews our original glory as the Blessed Virgin Mary models for us.

“Where will you have your Christmas?” A common question this time of the year. What’s it mean? Usually, the person asking is wondering where you’ll have Christmas dinner, or where you’ll be when the presents under the tree are opened.

On Gaudete Sunday, as we approach the darkest days of the year, Cardinal Dolan preaches about Light and darkness.

At the middle of the human drama is a pregnant woman. All of history is dated from the birth of her baby. She is Advent personified. No one is more patient than an expectant mother. The baby cannot be rushed.

In this Advent homily, Cardinal Dolan reminds us about the importance of the virtue of patience.
