And this will make your day: the inspiring story of Visitation Monastery<\/a>, where nuns from a small inner-city monastery foster peace and love on Minneapolis\u2019 North Side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Visitation<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Star Tribune<\/em> writes<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The \u201cNuns in the Hood,\u201d as they\u2019re known, are a beloved fixture at peace walks, vigils for the slain, and community causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve thrown birthday parties and rounded up school supplies for children who otherwise would have none. They\u2019ve opened their doors to those seeking peace, spiritual sustenance and forgiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Recovering addict Eddie Brown, whom the nuns helped rescue from homelessness,\u00a0says this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo me, the nuns are like angels come from a prayer because the things that they do in north Minneapolis are just unbelievable,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re always thinking of how they can help the neighborhood and the families.\u201d \u2026 \u201cThey\u2019re our nuns! Every neighborhood should have nuns in the hood!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As one woman in the hood says: <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

And it actually makes me feel bad for other neighborhoods. Like, you don’t have a house with nuns? Don’t you just knock on the door and go pray?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
