Notre Dame Cathedral officially reopened with a rededication Mass attended by politicians and other dignitaries, including Donald Trump and Jill Biden.
We've covered the long-awaited reopening of the Paris landmark, having waited five years for completion of the post-fire restoration.

This is food for the soul and a chalice for the heart.

Goose. Bumps.
Now compare it with the Olympic ceremony. The world is healing after Trump won.

Night and day, really.
There are moments in time that pierce the heart and touch the soul. For me, this is one of those moments. Thank you, James. You have no idea how much I needed this lovely music this morning. ❤️

It really is lovely.
If it’s this beautiful here … I can only imagine that the beauty was magnified ten fold by sitting in that audience and hearing her in the glorious Notre Dame Cathedral.

Which is why we're glad to bring it to you, dear readers.
The acoustics in the Notre Dame are ethereal. I walked through it during mass, and it truly makes you feel like God is there. https://t.co/esClLtAm6r
