Notre Dame: May lamentations lead to alleluias

Notre Dame: May lamentations lead to alleluias
We all watched with great sadness. We do not mourn for the structure but for a part of ourselves. Like any tragedy, pain must come before renewal. The history of the Cathedral is a memory of how we have come closer to God. That will never change. As we are destined to die, both individually, eventually the Cathedral will be a ruin, though a magnificent one. While it likely also exists, untouched,on the other side of the veil, the ruin will be as magnificent to whatever follows us as the pyramids and the Roman Forum are to us now. But not today. Today the rebuilding process is already being planned. Would that our hearts were as easy to rebuild, although with God, all is possible.
