My wife and I went to France to visit family for our honeymoon. Notre Dame was of course one of the places we visited. As such I've always associated it with the beginning of my marriage and so this conflagration feels much more personal than I would have anticipated.

ReplyDeleteI’ve heard there was a miraculous preservation of the Altar and even wax tapers from the heat and flames. And Parisians hymning the Holy Virgin outside while the Cathedral burned. Maybe there is hope for France and Catholics.
