Saturday, I visited the memorial for the shooting victims at the front of Annunciation Church in Minneapolis.
In addition to all the people there, the impact of this event shown through the scores of buckets-now-vases creating a floral garden radiating the sentiments of the many who've visited. More direct, were the messages written.
One mother watched on as her young children wrote chalk messages on the sidewalk, while others kneeled in prayer, stood in embrace, or just wandered silently.
Off to the side of the crowd, I talked to a priest who said there's been no date set for reopening the church--that they need to order some new pews. Yesterday's Mass, however, was still being held and moved into the school. I'm betting it was as overflowing as these buckets of flowers.
