Cardinal Dolan’s Homily: January 31, 2023 

| 01/31/2023

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

If we come from tough upbringings or difficult childhoods, we can go through life blaming others or we can do our best to make sure others don’t have the same adversities.

Saint John Bosco chose the second option. We celebrate his feast day today. He emphasized the spiritual life of those he helped and is renowned as an educator. He shows us how we can turn our own scars into stars. 

Watch Cardinal Dolan’s homily from this morning’s Mass below:

Monsignor Luke Sweeney, S.T.L., is the dean of seminarians and professor of Catholic social teaching at St. Joseph's Seminary. We spoke with him about the next generation of priests, the upcoming comprehensive exams at the seminary, and how we can respect God's creation.
