So I asked if I could take his photo and he seemed to agree (it was a bit hard to understand him since he was wearing a mask, not to prevent against COVID (well, that too) but against the paint fumes) and he posed like that.

A photo of Rev. John Restrepo, pastor of St. Dominic Catholic Church in Lakeview, who, when the quarantine started and the church had to close, moved his ministry outdoors. He has come outside most days and continues hearing confessions, talking to parishioners, and offering advice and counsel. Last Monday when I drove by the church, there were four people (at appropriate distances) waiting to speak to Restrepo. In March, the New Orleans Advocate did a piece on him: https://www.nola.com/multimedia/photos/collection_86663b02-6ac5-11ea-84a7-0fae923e109c.html#1

I was in my condo throughout the shelter-in-place for the pandemic alone except for my cat and the plants. While it was a hard time, I had a beautiful view and took care of the plants. One day, I noticed one had grown into a heart shape on its own. It made me really happy. I love this city and have been praying for everyone during the pandemic. So I feel it's representative of the love and prayers we have for one another, and have needed during this pandemic.
