Today we remember all the lives that were lost on September
11, 2001. In the days that followed, we came together as a nation, finding
connection and unity in our grieving, our sadness, our hope, and our strength.
As a country, and as brothers and sisters all over the world, we continue to
mourn seventeen (17) years later, we pray for peace.
Let us pray for:
- All those who lost their
lives that day are at home with Jesus.
- All the families who
lost loved ones find healing and take comfort knowing our Lord’s promise
of eternal life and everlasting joy.
- All the survivors and
for all heroes who selflessly risked or gave their lives for us.
In remembrance, let us pray together for healing and peace;
"Father of all, God
of all nations, we give you thanks for the mystery of infinite compassion and
love expressed in the covenant of creation and renewed through the blood of the
new and everlasting covenant shed by your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for the
salvation of all people.
With our brothers and
sisters of other world faiths, we employ your mercy and pray for an end to
violence.
May all people live
together in peace and tranquility, recognizing your own divine image, giving
you praise and glory here on earth and together forever in your kingdom as you
live and reign Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever."
