Bishop Robert Barron is creating a documentary that explores the magnificent beauty and spiritual power of France’s iconic Gothic cathedrals.

Filming journeys through Notre-Dame, Chartres, Reims, Amiens, and Saint-Denis, highlighting their breathtaking architecture and deep historical roots.

The project was inspired by global reactions to the 2019 Notre-Dame fire, which revealed how profoundly these sacred spaces resonate with people of all backgrounds.

Bishop Barron seeks to reveal how these soaring structures connect believers and non-believers alike to something greater.

The film will weave together history, theology, art, and Scripture to explore what makes cathedrals universally moving.

Production is underway, with an expected release in 2026.

Supporters may receive special gifts and early digital access, furthering Bishop Barron's mission to evangelize through the beauty of Catholic tradition.

The word Psalms has deep roots, originating from the Greek word for “song,” and has come to represent a remarkable collection of sacred writings spanning centuries.

Known in Jewish tradition as the “Praises,” these ancient poems invite worshippers into music and meditation, shaping spirituality across faiths.

The Psalms are divided into five books, mirroring the Torah, guiding communities from seasons of sorrow to renewal.

Many voices, notably King David, Solomon, Asaph, and Moses, weave their poetry together, reflecting the wide breadth of human experience.

Their poetic genius lies in parallelism and vivid imagery, resonating in local congregations who still chant these verses today.

Psalms remain essential to both Jewish and Christian prayer, offering comfort, unity, and hope—whether during quiet reflection at home or lively interfaith gatherings downtown.

From sorrow to praise, these timeless prayers anchor modern lives in shared tradition and enduring faith.

Pope Leo XIV marked the 56th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with a heartfelt conversation on July 20, 2025, connecting with Buzz Aldrin, the iconic astronaut whose journey with Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins reshaped history.

The two reflected on the enduring significance of human exploration and the awe-inspiring mystery of the cosmos.

Pope Leo XIV offered blessings to Aldrin, his family, and fellow astronauts, recognizing their remarkable contributions to space exploration.

Earlier, the Pope made his first visit to the Vatican Observatory in Castel Gandolfo since his election, engaging with astronomers and students about the dynamic intersection of faith and science.

This visit reinforces Pope Leo XIV’s commitment to dialogue between scientific advancement and spiritual reflection.

Continuing a tradition upheld by his predecessors, the Pope’s actions celebrate both human achievement and the enduring wonders of creation.
