On this grim day, when the hallowed Cathedral of Notre Dame has been devastated by fire, we offer our prayers in union with Catholics of France and those worldwide who lament this tragedy. In a short space of time, so much that was beautiful, sacred, treasured, historic, has been destroyed. The Cathedral can be restored, although much of its ancientness is forever gone.
Ut in omnibus Deus glorificetur.
