Dear Friend, This is it—the final email of our campaign and your last chance to support the nationwide promotion of Bishop Barron’s upcoming film, Heaven in Stone and Glass. Let us share one last sneak peek. Today, we stand with Bishop Barron outside the newly restored Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris to reflect on its profound survival. Watch. Bishop Barron reflects on the historic, record-breaking crowds flocking to Notre-Dame. Prompted by the devastating fire and harrowing sense of possible loss, people are being drawn to the cathedral in droves. Even if they cannot fully articulate it, they are gathering to celebrate the fact that something of immense spiritual importance has been preserved.  Invoking St. Augustine’s timeless claim that our hearts are restless till they rest in God, Bishop Barron explains that nothing in this world can truly satisfy our inherent longing for happiness. In God’s providence, the tragic fire and magnificent restoration of Notre-Dame serve as a powerful, living symbol of a much wider spiritual renovation desperately needed in our world today.  As our campaign officially comes to a close, please remember that Heaven in Stone and Glass will be shown in theaters on September 20 and 23. This is your final opportunity to fund the vital promotional push required to completely fill 1,000 theaters across the country. Will you make a gift today to help us make this a reality? LAST CHANCE TO DONATE The ultimate purpose of Heaven in Stone and Glass is to showcase these great Gothic cathedrals as gateways of transcendent beauty that call viewers out of the earthly and into the heavenly. These sacred structures were masterfully built to serve as an architectural introduction to Christ. As Bishop Barron demonstrates through this film, our visceral attraction to this beauty is a direct result of the human heart’s deep longing for its Creator. This film reminds us why we collectively mourned when Notre-Dame burned, and why we must rejoice at its restoration.  This is the final threshold of our campaign. Please take this last chance to support the promotion of Heaven in Stone and Glass by making a gift today. God bless you, The Word on Fire Team P.S. We rely on your partnership to ensure this film reaches those who need to see it most. As a token of our gratitude, we’ve prepared a series of exclusive donor gifts for those who support this mission.
