Prayers Going Up!

Drawing by Albrecht Dürer

Yes!  Your Two Chums are certainly offering prayers for Notre Dame and Paris in general.

According to USA Today,  “More than $700 million in committed donations poured in Tuesday to rebuild the damaged portions of the cathedral with major help from some of the richest families in France.

It came amid a sigh of relief after fears that the building might burn to the ground were assuaged and many historic artifacts, initially assumed to be destroyed, were found salvaged.

French President Emmanuel Macron, in a televised address to the nation Tuesday evening, made a call to unity and to set aside political differences in the coming days to work to rebuild the cathedral.

Throughout French history, he said, towns, forts and churches have burned from revolutions, wars or mankind, “and each time we have rebuilt.”

“We are rebuilders,” he said. “There’s a great deal to be rebuilt. And we will make the cathedral of Notre Dame even more beautiful. We can do this and we will mobilize everybody.

“I share your sorrow and I also share your hope. Now we have something to do. We will act and react. And we will succeed.”

Here are some very interesting facts about the amazing structure. Read more
