“Notre Dame is on fire,” Phil said.
And I wondered which sports team was tearing it up.
Except this isn’t a day for college sports.
And I wondered if the campus was
Right now being destroyed.
Until his next words stopped me cold.
“The 850-year-old cathedral
Is right now collapsing.”
I groan in my spirit as tears come to my eyes.
That beautiful edifice.
That incredible rose window.
Under scaffolding when I visited.
But at least I saw it.
What will be left for my boys?
For my grandchildren?
