A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Shrine of Knock

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

Cardinal Dolan and the visiting pilgrims are at the Shrine of Knock where our Blessed Mother appeared to villagers in this little parish in County Mayo during a troubled time in Ireland.

Cardinal Dolan reflects on why our Blessed Mother said nothing to those she appeared to. Sometimes the silence of a mother is the best message we can have. 

"The duty to prevent and counter crimes against humanity rests first and foremost with states," Archbishop Caccia said.

We love stories like the one in today's first reading about how young David was able to fell the mighty giant Goliath. We like it when the little guy wins. Tomorrow, we observe the sad anniversary of the legalization of abortion.
