Prayer for the Notre Dame Cathedral
Our Lady
graces many chapels throughout the world, often as a nook off to the side where
she draws in the seeker who has become weary from the crush of the world. She also
comes in grandeur, calling to our highest hopes and aspirations, as on the River Seine in Paris where that ancient cathedral
stands shattered and smoldering from devastating fire.
Many
stood to weep and to sing hymns of devotion even as the flames continued to
rise. We join our hearts with the people of that ancient city who feel
immeasurable loss. We join hands with the people of that ancient faith, many of
whom have come in recent years to see their Church shattered as well.
May Our
Lady instill in all of us the courage to rebuild this ancient and sacred space
to speak beauty and hope to all the world.
