I was very saddened to see the fire at Notre Dame. So sad: especially when the cathedral has been there for 850 years.

It is such a symbol of love and hope for Paris, indeed for the whole world.

However, I am encouraged to see the outpouring of solidarity and fundraising already to turn things around.

Seemingly, there is indeed hope for the future.
