Here’s my homily from this morning. In yesterday’s Gospel we hear how Mary, despite receiving her own shocking news, immediately went to help her cousin Elizabeth. It is a beautiful act of charity – the kind of charity that Christmas teaches.

Here’s my homily from this morning. Today is the Annunciation to Zechariah. During the holidays, we like to gather and retell family stories. That’s what’s going on in our Gospel this morning. These are family stories of miraculous deeds that surrounded the birth of Jesus.

On today’s special Christmas Show edition of Conversation with Cardinal Dolan, we have a live audience as recording artist David Archuleta sings a song off his new album, Emmy Award -winning TV personality Katie Linendoll shares her holiday gift guide, and we enjoy some classic Christmas carols from Park Slope 4 barbershop quartet.

Here’s my homily from this morning. Over the next three days,our Gospels will focus on 3 annunciations. Today we read about the annunciation of St. Joseph. These were necessary because God had to remind Joseph, Zechariah and Mary that the Messiah was coming in a simple way.

Today on Conversation with Cardinal Dolan, I’m coming to you from the Catholic University of America! With me are special guests President John Garvey and Msgr. Irwin. I’ma grateful and proud alumnus, and it’s always good to be back.

Here’s my homily from this morning. Just like St. Patrick’s Cathedral is built on a rock, so must our faith be. If our lives are built on anything else other than the rock of faith in our Lord, sooner or later we will be shaken.

On today’s Conversation with Cardinal Dolan , Father Dave Dywer and I discuss my memories of George H. W. Bush as well as Advent. Our special guests include Grammy-winner John Michael Talbot and Decided Excellence Catholic Media’s Tim Ferriter.

Here’s my homily from this morning. During Advent, we often hear the phrase “On that day.” Did you know in the Old Testament it actually refers to the first coming of Jesus, Christmas, and in the New Testament it refers to the second coming of Jesus at the end of time?

Here’s my homily from this morning. During Advent we celebrate the assurance that Jesus will come and be with His people. Today we also celebrate the Feast of St. Francis Xavier, who accepted the invitation of Jesus to come to him, but also the mandate to go teach all the nations

Advent celebrates the three comings of Christ – the Lord DID come, the Lord IS coming now, and the Lord WILL come at the end of time. We should always be prepared for the coming of Jesus and also savor each moment of life.
