You’ll never think that a place that have seen Kevin Hart’s racy jokes and some other out this worldly and awesome performance would one day be used as a venue for mass that was presided by the Pope himself like literally, Sunday God worship mass but not on a Sunday.
In a venue famed for concerts and sports, the pontiff celebrated mass to a packed congregation of 20,000 people, with thousands more lining the streets outside – Christians, Buddhists, Muslims and Sikhs, believers and atheists, natives and tourists, gathered to share the climax of a whirlwind visit to Manhattan.
Pope Francis transformed New York City’s entertainment forum, Madison Square Garden, into a realm of worship and reverence on Thursday night.
“The people have seen a great light,” the pontiff said in his homily, speaking Spanish to a hushed arena. “The people who walked with all their dreams and hopes, their disappointments and regrets, the people have seen a great light … a light meant to shine on every corner of this city, on our fellow citizens, on every part of our lives.”
A chaotic scene outside Madison Square Garden, where travellers with suitcases struggled past security to get in and out of Penn station, underlined the point. For a place that had a mass going there sure was a handful cries of “holy Mary” and “Jesus Christ” and not the good kind but the kind that has the F word, filled the air. “Why is everything blocked off if he isn’t even outside?” cried one woman.
It was his last scheduled event in New York. On Saturday he travels to Philadelphia to wrap his first visit to the US. On Sunday he will return to Rome.
“He touched us,” said Juan Vasquez, 38, standing outside Madison Square Garden, hoping for a glimpse. “He is simple. Human.”
