Our grand Basilica was desecrated on Saturday. We pray for those responsible whose hearts and minds are darkened by hatred. Please pray an “Our Father” for them asking Jesus to shower them with graces for true Conversion. Statues can be repaired with glue. Souls need prayer. pic.twitter.com/9d8hIZYIml
