A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Magnificat Canticle 

| 12/22/2022

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

This week before Christmas we have two beautiful canticles or songs of praise.

They both come from Saint Luke’s Gospel. Today Cardinal Dolan reflects on the Magnificat. It’s the Latin word for being magnified or praised and is the praise of our Blessed Mother Mary. 

Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan was named Archbishop of New York by Pope Benedict XVI on February 23, 2009.

"Jesus said a city built on a hilltop cannot be hidden... Sacred Heart Parish and Sacred Heart Schools are built on a hilltop, and Jesus would be happy because we can't hide," Cardinal Dolan said.
