Beyond our time

The construction of Notre-Dame Cathedral began in 1163 and took almost two centuries to complete, finally ending in 1345.

Think of the men and women who built it: one stone each day, one small step at a time, knowing they would never see the finished work. Yet they kept going, with patience and pride, because in their minds the image was already alive.

They knew they were building something that mattered.

Cathedrals carry a silent majesty. They were born from an ambition greater than time itself; in fact, time was the very force that made them possible.

To keep building meant believing that the future deserved beauty and greatness: brick by brick, hand by hand, generation after generation.

So you too can look beyond what’s immediate. Don’t rush for results. Put care into what you do today. Every act is a stone that remains.

Do it with love, and trust the larger design. The most beautiful things need patience, courage, and hope.

Think big: your cathedral deserves to be started, even if others will be the ones to see it shine.
