The Rev. Eugene Wilson delivered a message Sunday to inspire the Eagles faithful at St. Charles Borromeo in Bensalem: the Bible is filled with stories about the underdog.
Wilson, a diehard Birds fan, hung an Eagles scarf on the pulpit for the 8:30 a.m. Mass. The congregation was a sea of green: Eagles’ jerseys, hoodies and scarves. Students at the parish school also donned Eagles attire on Friday.
Even Father Wilson wore a green vestment Sunday. “It all ties together,” he said.
Wilson delivered a similar message in his sermon at Mass Saturday night and Sunday, preaching the story of Jesus, John the Baptist and Jonah, who was swallowed up and trapped inside a whale for three days for disobeying God.
