You can watch Cardinal Dolan’s homily from this morning’s Mass at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral here. In his homily this morning, Cardinal Dolan reflects on a saying of Pope Saint Pius V.

This side of heaven, there’s no better way to be close to Christ than by receiving Him in Holy Communion. Saint Pope Pius V is known for his role in the Council of Trent that revived the wonder, majesty, and mystery of the sacramental life of the Church, especially the Most Holy Eucharist.
