NY Cardinal Dolan tells Yankees fans to pray to patron saint of ‘impossible causes’ as Bombers hope for World Series miracle
Give the Yankees strength, Lord.
The Bronx Bombers’ dire 0-2 World Series deficit prompted a cheeky plea for prayers from New York Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan and other local religious leaders.
Dolan closed Sunday mass in St. Patrick’s Cathedral by pointing out to parishioners that Monday is the Feast of St. Jude, “the patron saint of impossible causes.”
“His shrine is in the very back there,” he said, gesturing to the back, “if you want to light a candle for the Yankees — because it’s not looking too good.”
