Today we remember all who were lost on that terrible day ten years ago. We remember all the heroes who struggled hard to save lives in the hours that followed and who worked on to retrieve those lost for their families. We remember those heroes who have fallen in the years since, having selflessly breathed in the toxic dusts swirling around the World Trade Center debris. We remember the families and friends of all the fallen, who grieve in their absence and struggle with this dark anniversary. We pray for you all and stand with you in your struggles.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
Let us pray together:
Merciful God, comfort us as we face the valley of the shadow of death. Lift our eyes from the dark depths to the hills from whence help comes. aid us to see your light, that it may be for us a light upon the path and a lamp upon the way until we come into the fullness of your presence, where there is no shadow or hiding. Amen
