I just saw news that said a priest said that ALL artifacts and important items were saved. So a small bit of good news amid the destruction.
I seen the pictures of the Cross and Pulpit, God's Hands have been there and have also saved the artifacts and important items, one was the Crown of Thorns, very, very important...
A lot of people think we pray to the Saints as Idols, but we don't, we honor them for the miracles they have preformed, but we pray to God and to Mother Mary, every woman knows that Mother Mary helps her as does God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit...they are a very strong, important part of our lives, without God we are not...
