Notre Dame:En Fue

Notre Dame: En Fue

After eight hundred and fifty years,  a cathedral....mostly ashes.
Napoleon's Crown, gone.
Worse even, Christ's crown of thrones was there! 
People wept in the streets, "Ave Maria." they wept and sang.
A masterpiece died.
However, it is more museum than Church of faith, Europeans know.
France lost its soul long ago and bowed instead to Muslim bravado.

Macron cannot rebuild a deep faith in God.
We all know, in many countries, God was shown the door long ago.
God lives in your soul, not a building!
That's up to us, to rekindle the love of Him in other souls.
And to elect only those who truly are God's kin.
If not, America, like Notre Dame,is sadly,done in.

As a history buff, I am just horrified at what was lost. As a religious person, it was only a building, and buildings can be rebuilt. Have a great day.

David, my dear friend. Thank you for saying all I wanted to say in two sentences. Also, having enough soul to respond. You are a rarity! Blessings, Panagiota
