At the altar of the ruined cathedral stands a charred cross, a replica of two beams found lying in a cruciform shape in the rubble on the morning after the destruction. On the wall behind it are the words Father Forgive, a plea directed not just at the aggressors, but also at those who suffered. A Litany of Reconciliation is said in the new Cathedral at noon every weekday and before this altar every Friday as well as in other centres of reconciliation, reaffirming the Cathedral’s special ministry of reconciliation and renewal.
