It was a raging inferno taking a tragic toll. But the burning fire in the human soul that no tears, no torrents of water can possibly extinguish, lives on in an eternal Blaze of Faith.
A Holy Week tragedy like no other: For the first time this morning, the bells of the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris will not peal out in their familiar, exquisitely beautiful call to prayer.
This morning’s deafening silence of the bells will revoke the horror of last evening’s raging inferno that all but gutted one of history’s most notable, long-standing cathedrals.
