About Who Do You Say I Am?: Daily Reflections On The
Product Description Inspiring reflections and meditations to quiet the noise of our everyday lives and draw us closer to Jesus—from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, one of the most compelling Catholic leaders of our time In the Gospels, Jesus asks what may be the most important question of our lives: “Who do you say I am?” In our bustling world, this can be a difficult question to answer; often we are distracted or believe we lack the time or presence of mind to fully explore how we feel. But just a few minutes devoted to God each day can go a long way toward keeping us centered and focused on what really matters. In Who Do You Say I Am?, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, offers beautiful insights on the importance of Jesus and the Church in our day-to-day lives. With short daily reflections crafted to inspire anyone seeking to appreciate and deepen their faith, Cardinal Dolan explores the lessons of Jesus and offers fresh new understandings of the saints, prayer, the Bible, beauty, and the pursuit of God, especially in light of the often turbulent nature of faith itself. Whether at the start of each day, before retiring to sleep each night, or anytime during the day, readers can build a deeper and more personal relationship with God through this step-by-step devotional. About the Author His Eminence Cardinal Timothy Dolan was named Archbishop of New York by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009. Previously, he served as the tenth Archbishop of Milwaukee after being named by Pope John Paul II in 2002.

January 1 Feast of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Last week, billions of people celebrated a mother and the birth of her baby. Children around the world pointed at the newborn child in the nativity scene and asked, “Who’s that?” and parents and grandparents whispered, “That’s Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.” Then the same children pointed to Mary and inquired, “And who’s that?” and the answer was: “That’s His mother. Without her, Christmas could not have happened.” We Catholics passionately love our Church. As in our families, we are “born into” the Church at Baptism. Like a mother, she feeds us in the Eucharist, forgives us in Reconciliation, strengthens us in Confirmation, consoles us with the Anointing of the Sick, and gives us away in Matrimony or Holy Orders. In this family of faith, we look to Mary as our own spiritual mother—a mother who guides and protects us. Mary never went to college, yet we call her Sede Sapientiae—“the Seat of Wisdom”—as she gave flesh to Wisdom, to the Word, to the eternal Son of God. Her virtues? Listening, reflecting, pondering, wondering, serving, and trusting. Her fiat, her proclamation: “Be it done unto me according to thy word.” Mary is wise because she accepts God’s will. She gives us Jesus, who shows us the way, teaches us the truth, and shares with us His life. That’s why the Blessed Mother is the greatest of all the saints, because she is the closest to her divine son and wants nothing more than to draw us close to Him. January 2 He will never fail you or forsake you. —Deuteronomy 31:6 One of the central messages of Christianity is this: We have a God who simply will not take “no” for an answer! Think about it: It started in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had everything, every gift, all happiness, intimacy with God, eternal life, no woe, war, or sickness—and they told God no as they disobeyed His only request. God could have legitimately responded, “Go to hell!” But not our God! He saw a world destroying itself by sin and selfishness and sent a flood to cleanse it . . . but the world once again said no! He made a covenant with Abraham and bound Himself by a covenant with His people . . . but we once again were unfaithful and told Him no! He saw His people enslaved, so He sent Moses, Aaron, and Joshua to lead the
