Description

The spiritual experience you have when walking through Notre Dame and stopping to view all the amazing religious art in this Cathedral is very personal. It can only be hoped that in time there will be a rebuilding and rebirth just as Jesus did.

Even though I've been able to visit various Notre Dame cathedrals in many different cities and countries, I've never yet made it to the original in Paris. This is a great loss to so many, but so thankful that even if we lose some of the outward objects of our faith, we know that we always continue to experience the inward light of Jesus in our hearts and lives. Thanks for your image and description, Emile. #11761707
