This is a great story about unbroken Perpetual Adoration at Paris’ Basilica of the Sacred Heart. But compare the glorious high altar to the thing in front of it, redundant and completely unneeded.
Read the great story, though, below:
The Benedictine sisters have prayed non-stop for 135 years at the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris. (interior photos, Sophie Lloyd; archive photograph, AHAP; exterior/dome photos, Stephanie LeBlanc/Unsplash)

Since Aug. 1, 1885, the chain of perpetual adoration of the Holy Sacrament at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre in Paris has continued uninterrupted, including during the 1944 bombing and the coronavirus crisis.

This sanctuary embodies perfectly the pursuit of the absurd.
Great story though.
I have been to the Basilica several times. For me it was one of the most beautiful I have had the privilege of visiting.
The abandoned glorious high altar for the Sacrifice shows how sick the Church is: Active participation is more important than God.
I have witnessed the good sisters singing the Office at Sacre Coeur, a magnificent church.
