Notre Dame Cathedral was officially reopened on Saturday in Paris after catching fire five years ago. The restoration has been beset with controversies, but the cathedral is ready to resume its status as a symbol of “the spirit of Paris,” the site of notable coronations (including that of Emperor Napoleon), and “a monument to the highest aspirations of artistic achievement that transcends religion and time.” How do we respond to declining religiosity in the secularized Western world?

However, settling for anything less than the truth will always leave you worse off in the end.

Tim Keller was right: “Gratitude is what you feel. Thanksgiving is what you do.”
