Discover the incredible journey of Notre Dame Cathedral's restoration after a catastrophic fire threatened its historic foundation.

What does it take to revive an 850-year-old icon of faith and resilience?

Join us on this Catholic Corner, as we explore this monumental reconstruction effort and express gratitude to the French government for their unwavering commitment to restoring one of Christianity's heralded landmarks.

Tune in as we reflect on the lessons this revered cathedral imparts for leading a flourishing life, just in time for the celebration of the nativity of our Lord.

Key Points from the Episode:

• We'll walk through the events of that fateful day in April 2019, the heroic efforts of over 400 firefighters, and how the global community rallied to raise more than 846 million euros in support.
• Through rich storytelling, we'll travel back in time to unfold the majestic history of Notre Dame—from the laying of its cornerstone in 1163 to its role in pivotal moments of European history. 
• Delve into the significance of this architectural masterpiece, from the safeguarding of the crown of thorns by St. Louis in 1239 to Joan of Arc's rehabilitation trial in 1431, and see how it stands today as a testament to human determination and faith. 
• Finally, I share my three observations on the rededication ceremony and restoration of this iconic Cathedral with a little snark.
