I WAS thinking on Sunday, “Something big is going to happen this week.”    Holy Week is a time when the sinister forces of the world want some big event because it keeps people from focusing on what is most important: their own immortal souls and the mysteries of the Cross.

The huge fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris yesterday is something big. The question is: Was it an accident or deliberately set? Could a fire of such intensity be accidental?

I hope to post more on the details in the future. But please don’t let this distract you. As magnificent and historic as this building was — the symbol of French Catholicism —  it is not more important than a single soul. The Cross is eternal. Buildings will go up in flames. Holy Week is a time to grow closer to God.
