The Catholic community of the Archdiocese of New York prayed this morning at St. Patrick’s Cathedral for our Jewish neighbors and friends, who are suffering again after that terrible diabolical atrocity in Australia. It gives us cause to intensify our advocacy for the defense of our Jewish friends and neighbors, and also brings to mind the message of Hanukkah and Christmas that light will always conquer darkness.
