As the New York Knicks took the court at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 8, they had divine support waiting in the wings.
Bishop John Barres of the Diocese of Rockville Centre is among the many New Yorkers cheering “Knicks in 4.”
The Long Island shepherd has firsthand experience going hard in the paint as a point guard for the Princeton University Tigers.
Bishop Barres said he takes inspiration from Pope Leo XIV himself when it comes to speaking out about being a fan and the power of sports to unite. He highlighted the athletic experience in that regard.
The bishop noted that Knicks fans are currently caught up in the mania of the NBA Finals.
He said if the team can make a comeback, so can your prayer life, stressing the importance of an examination of conscience.
Bishop Barres also offered a prayer for the Knicks ahead of the game.
