Cardinal Dolan offered blessings to people in need and handed out food at St. Jerome's Hands Community Center in the Bronx for Holy Thursday. NatDuddridgeTV reports.
-- Catholic Charities is partnering with a major food distributor to feed the hungry on Holy Thursday in the Bronx.
"Easter meal, have your family that can come over. We've lost so much, so now it's a time to rejoice as much as we can," said Bronx resident Gale Lee. "There are a lot of people who are in need of food, who cannot financially provide and then the economy prices have gone up," one person said."On Holy Thursday evening, Jesus washed the feet of the disciples and said, 'I've given you example,'" said Monsignor Kevin Sullivan."So what Catholic Charities does on Holy Thursday is to make sure that we follow the example of Jesus, and we reach out and we feed people who are hungry.
"It almost seems like we've been locked in a Good Friday moment. We've been locked in that darkness and violence and death, right? But that's why we need this, because we know that Good Friday always leads to Easter," Cardinal Dolan said.
