Guidebooks for the VF and VFsouth often mention that a cathedral or some other landmark building has been destroyed and rebuilt several times following earthquakes.
But it takes the horrible reality of the present earthquakes at Amatrice and nearby towns to drive home the horror of what that really means.
I can only hope that the people affected find strength to carry on, to mourn their dead and injured , and eventually, when the time is right and sadness has lost its present raw edge, to rebuild their beautiful towns.
I also hope that pilgrims who may have been in the general area affected have emerged unscathed.
My thought are with you all.
