A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Magnificat Canticle

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.
