I came across a well written op-ed by Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of The Jewish Week regarding Catholic-Jewish relations. I thought I would share it with all of you. Here is an excerpt: Jews will sense an immediate point of identification with Cardinal Dolan’s “in-reach” message to his flock.

In this homily, Cardinal Dolan teaches about how the temptations of Jesus are our temptations as well.

In this homily, on the occasion of being elevated to cardinal, Cardinal Dolan speaks about the importance of gratitude and humility.

In this homily, at a prayer service on the occasion of being elevated to cardinal, Cardinal Dolan reminds us that this honor is not to him personally as much as the entire Church of New York.

Let me share with you a very special message to my fellow New Yorkers. Here is an excerpt: I’ve become a New Yorker. And I like to brag about the beauty and the virtue and the goodness that I see in the New York community.

Well, I did it again… It’s usually one of the very first things I do on my first full day back in Rome… Early in the morning, I walk down the Janiculum  Hill – where I stay at the North American College – to Saint Peter’s Basilica, there to go to confession and then to celebrate Mass.

Let me share with you my letter regarding the healthcare mandate. This letter has been sent to parishes to be read at masses this weekend. Letter from Cardinal-designate Dolan Letter from Cardinal-designate Dolan (Spanish)

I would like to share with you the statement that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops released to the press today regarding religious liberty. The following press release was issued today by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, quoting Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York and president of the USCCB.

Last week, I came across an interesting column in The Jerusalem Post written by Deborah Danan on my pilgrimage to the Holy Land. With every new thing that I learnt about the Archbishop’s world, my mind expanded just the teensiest bit and as a result, my prejudices, reservations and—I’ll admit it—my cynicism, also diminished a smidgen.

In this homily, Cardinal Dolan meditates on how the example of Jesus shows two elements of a successful day: work and prayer.

This piece comes from Jerusalem. Here I am, in great company of fifty priests from the archdiocese, on a ”retreat-pilgrimage.” Can you think of a better place to renew faith in God and hear again the call to discipleship from His Son, Jesus?
