I remember that sad day so well. In France, Notre Dame Cathedral is owned by the government. Let’s pray that enough Catholics strongly object to some of the “woke” designs that are rumored to be part of the reconstruction.
Fr. Matthew, thank you for introducing to us the splendid beauty and style of Gothic architecture. God deserves to be given the best of our best talent for it comes from Him. It’s just a pity that many churches are desecrated so badly with evil intent. On our part, we continue to hold on to our faith in God, ask forgiveness for the disgraced and pray for the conversion of those who wilfully committed the crime. We continue to believe that darkness will never win in the end. May we all see the light and divine order God wants us to experience and find joy.
What a wonderful talk, Father, full of history and details I did not know and great pictures! Your delivery is also nice and calm. Thanks for the beautiful reminder at the end that as splendid as these cathedrals are and how they were built by and for Catholics to praise and honor our Triune God, in the end all we need is a safe place to gather, pray and receive our Sacraments. Thank you also for continuing to say a prayer before and after the talk.
I watched Notre Dame burning on the BBC coming directly from Paris. I have visited Notre Dame and was heartbroken and in tears watching this beautiful Catholic Cathedral going up in flames. It is a Parisian jewel and I hope the restoration is as true to the original as possible.
Dear Fr Matthew, thank you very much for the informative, historical lecture of Gothic churches. Visiting Italy in July, will surely pay attention to the differences between the Romanesque and the Gothics. God bless you and the Marians ! 😇 😇
Thank you so much for this informative presentation Father Matthew. How beautiful that these Gothic churches were meant to be a manifestation of God’s light and the Divine order. What a great reminder for all of us that God always has a plan that results in unity and harmony, (although the big picture plan isn’t always immediately evident). Wow that’s quite a story about Mother Angelica putting diamonds inside the tabernacle. May we all strive to forever give God our best, in all we do! I continue to keep our Marian Family, including your family Father Matthew and Father Kaz’s and Father Chris’ distant travels in prayer. God bless you.
Wish you were speaking in the Philadelphia PA. area..Valley Forge to be more precise! Ok...I get it..that's just a little bit off the beating path! Have a great time in Australia Fr. Chris! ⚘️
Fr. Matthew! I cringed every time I heard you pronounce Notre Dame, especially knowing you have some Cajun roots. And then you went and pronounced Chartres more accurately. You can’t have it both ways! 🤣 But in all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation!!! God bless you! From Matt in LA.
Parisians praying and singing Ave Maria during the fire was just beautiful⛪🔥
