Cardinal Dolan offers lessons of hope and courage in new book for Lent

CHICAGO, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York has compiled sermons, reflections, and articles he's written during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to develop the book I Am With You: Lessons of Hope and Courage in Times of Crisis.

As Christians near the start of the Lenten season and our world responds to the effects of the ongoing pandemic, Cardinal Dolan's I Am With You not only captures this moment in our history but also offers a new appreciation of the journey to Easter with a reminder that with whatever we are facing, Jesus is always with us. 

"Jesus has revealed to us that He is always with us, most powerfully when we're so scared, sad, anxious, and alone that we might ask if He's the one in quarantine," writes Cardinal Dolan in the introduction of I Am With You. "I am with you always. What we've learned is that the locked doors of our doubts and trepidations cannot keep Jesus out." 

Following the chronological timeline of the first six months of the pandemic, I Am With You addresses the issues and confusion many people faced over the last year, including reflections on faith versus reason, the death of loved ones, and how to celebrate the Mass without being physical present in the sanctuary. While navigating any crisis, pandemic-related or not, I Am With You encourages us all to rediscover the strength of God's Holy Word and recognize God's presence even in our darkest times.

I Am With You is available on the online Loyola Press store, Amazon, and bookstores everywhere.
