Basilica of Saint Mary — Attraction in Minneapolis

Gorgeous building. Inside and out. When I first walked up I have my prescription sunglasses on and spotted what looked like a homeless person sleeping on the front bench. I continued to walk towards the church stairs and looked back over towards the person. The first thing I noticed was no shoes. I stopped and started heading towards him. I'll check out the church later I thought. I noticed dark black feet that looked dirty from walking with no shoes on for a long time. I got really concerned. And marched faster contemplating, where can I get this person shoes, a shower, a meal. Thinking how much cash can I give. I get closer and see dark, deep gashes on the top of this persons feet. I get scared. Oh my gosh he needs a doctor. I reach and touch the guy hoping I can help in any way. As soon as I touch him, he felt cold and hard. I jump back in fright! It's a statue!! Confused and surprised I take my prescription glasses off and its clearly a statue. It seriously looked like a real person. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, but I truly believed I saw a real person. Those markings became familiar to me. It is a statue of my savior Jesus wrapped in a blanket lying on the bench. This experience was definitely a wild one. I left impressed...

This was the most amazing beautiful and had the most gracious people I've ever met in my life. I didn't have the address as I headed out. I could tell it was going to rain so i wore my red poncho and followed the biggest Church Steeple. It took me about 20 minutes or so to get there and before arriving the rain downpours. Every door I go to says go to another one and finally a man let's me in and leads me into the church where instantly in awe and wonder. I took a video I hope it posts here. I was in shock and tears and I want to personally thank BOB for his kindness in giving me a voucher for a pair of shoes "especially since mine were soaked-"and some socks plus a beautiful pouch with a dry shirt 👕 in it. Plus a voucher for my Minnesota Identification. Thank you to all the volunteers there and the security. Those are the kind of people we need in this world. The Lord is always good and He guides me in the...
