Our RCIA class is grieving over Notre Dame. In the sadness, we find hope with Fr. Fournier's team bravely saving the precious relics and the Blessed Sacrament. That is how important this is to Catholics...new and old. Bless you, Fr. Fournier. And, bless you, Fr. Martin.

Very well said Father. Yes, God was with/in all those who helped to put the fire out and God was with all who grieve.

He could have stopped that fire in a blink of an eye but he didn’t, I wonder why?

Malachi 1:3
Edom may say, "Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins." But this is what the LORD Almighty says: "They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD.
