St Joseph’s Cathedral–Oklahoma City

One last word about the OKC National Memorial

before I move on to the State Capitol. . .

on my list of must see places because of it’s connection to the Memorial

was the ST. Joseph’s Cathedral. . .

it was right across the street from the Arthur P. Murrah Building,

and received extensive damage from the blast. . .

loving Cathedrals anyway, I really wanted to see

the Stained Glass and Pipe Organ in this one,

and read the stories of that fateful day. . .

however, it was closed, locked up tight . . .so maybe next trip. . .

as we stood on the Murrah Building Plaza,

looking back across the street toward the Cathedral,

I told Dave. . .oh I wish the flag would unfurl so I could

get a shot of it with the steeple in the background. . .

at that moment it was as though an angel’s breath

blew the flag out for the perfect shot. . .

love those moment’s in time. . .

and on the corner directly behind the Cathedral

with it’s back to the disaster stands this memorial statue

entitled “And Jesus Wept”. . .

My feeble mind will never understand such tragedies. . .

or why a merciful God allows such horrible things to happen. . .

I just don’t know. . .and standing here almost 20 years later,

I still ask the question. . .WHY oh WHY? 


A question that will only be answered in eternity. . .

I’m glad we came. . .


See you next time at the State Capitol Building,

‘til then,

Janice and Dave
