A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Feast of Saint Irenaus

| 06/28/2024

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Irenaus. In his video this morning, Cardinal Dolan talks about one of his favorite philosophies of Saint Irenaus regarding what he called recapitulation.

All of us who follow Jesus Christ need to reenact everything He did. It’s the essence of discipleship. 

Watch the Solemn Liturgy of The Lord’s Passion and Death on Friday, April 3, at 3:30 p.m., live from Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan.

In today’s readings, Mark’s Gospel has a beautiful image of an extravagant gesture towards Jesus Christ. Let us love Jesus just as strongly this Holy Week.
