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.

His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan was named Archbishop of New York by Pope Benedict XVI on February 23, 2009.
“Without God, we cannot have peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace," Bishop Joseph A. Espaillat said.

La historia de San Valentín incluye muchas leyendas, y existen diferentes versiones sobre el origen concreto de este santo. Incluso se cree que hubo más de un Valentín. Aunque este día se celebra alrededor del mundo como el Día de los Enamorados, en 1969 se eliminó de calendario católico y se destinó ese día a la festividad de los santos Cirilo y Metodio.
