God, we are saddened to see the destruction of a beautiful historical site such as Notre Dame. Protect all who are at the site, and those responding to the fire and recovery.
Reading Time: 2 minutes
A massive fire engulfed the roof at the famed Notre Dame cathedral in Paris on Monday afternoon, collapsing the main spire in the blaze.
The intense flames leaped out from two of its bell towers minutes before the spire collapsed. A church spokesman told French media that all of Notre Dame cathedral’s frame is burning after the spire collapsed.
“Everything is burning, nothing will remain from the frame,” Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot told local outlets.
The sight stopped pedestrians in their tracks along the Seine River, which passes under the cathedral.
“Notre-Dame of Paris is in flames. Emotion in the whole nation. Thoughts for all Catholics and for all French,” he tweeted. “Like all our countrymen, I’m sad to see this part of us burn.”
The deputy mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Gregoire, told BFMTV that the cathedral has suffered “colossal damages.”
Paris emergency services said they were trying to salvage the artwork stored in the cathedral. The French capital’s police department said no deaths have been reported from Monday’s fire. The police department didn’t say anything about injuries. Hidalgo said Paris authorities are in touch with Paris diocese.
The fire department was fighting the flames, while the area near the cathedral was being cleared.
It was not immediately clear what caused the fire. Notre Dame was undergoing a $6.8 million renovation project, with some sections under scaffolding, while bronze statues were removed last week for work. Sources told Fox News that it appears the fire was related to recent construction done at the cathedral.
President Donald Trump tweeted about the fire, saying it was “horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.”
Located on the Ile de la Cite in the center of Paris, the Gothic cathedral — which dates back to the 12th century — attracts millions of tourists each year. The cathedral is home to incalculable works of art and is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions.
It was featured in Victor Hugo’s novel “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.”

I AM NOT WORTHY THAT YOU SHOULD ENTER under my roof BUT only say the WORD and my soul and the soul of FRANCE May be saved!! The Holy Spirit Fire 🔥 opened the roof that France May be healed!! Jesus chose to enter under the “roof” of Mary’s womb for all of us to be brought to healing and heaven!! At the foot of the cross OUR LORD’S dna Mother, the disciple who KNEW he was loved and the woman who washed HIS feet prayed with HIM the Psalms until the Passover Sacrifice was to be slain at 3. We thank you Father GOD for the disciples who KNOW they are loved by YOU and YOUR and MARY’S SON JESUS…. (OUR kinsman redeemer). “Blessed are you Mary (etc) for you believed the WORDs given unto you and you will live to see them come to fruition.” The LORD has done great things giving us and Mary ’salvation!! Let us rejoice and be glad as we keep the commandment to HONOR our mother and father and to HONOR CHRIST’S mother and father as well. AMEN
Father God, in the Name of our Saviour, Who is Lord of all, please allow the eyes of the worshippers to turn from the wrorship of idols, relics, and remnants. I watched (prayerfully) as images of Mary were hoisted on banners as they walked along those who were mourning the devasatation -praying the Rosary and reciting Hail Mary prayers. Father God, even the darkest of darkness cannot withstand the faintest glimmer of light from you.
Open the eyes of those who are blind, so they can see YOU Lord God, your Saviour, and Your Spirit. SAVE THEM LORD GOD. It is in the Name that is ABOVE EVERY NAME, Jesus, the Christ, our Living Resurrected Saviour, I pray, AMEN, AMEN, and AMEN.
Very sad for my dear France, Lord G-D of IsraEL.help us……in Jesus name we beg you LORD Amen mercy on us Father Abba Hashem.
