“Chicago, The devil doesn’t pick empty pockets. The beauty and power and joy of our Mothercity was an obvious target for the dogs of hate. I cried when I heard this attack a stones throw from Smartbar. But I also cried when I saw you fill the streets in a blizzard to dance and beat drums and chant: I believe that we will win. I not only believe we will win, I believe Chicago is the beginning of the ending. Mom’s home. And I’m staying for the week to pitch in and serve anywhere you need a hand. To stand with you in any weather. To feed anyone that needs it. You tell me what to do. I’m there. I serve at the pleasure of the Greatest City in the World.” ~ The Blessed Madonna (via Instagram)
