Today marks 25 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
We remember and pray for the ๐ฎ,๐ต๐ณ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ on September 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. We honor the first responders, clergy, and ordinary men and women who ran toward danger, those who gave their lives trying to save others, and all whose lives were forever changed.
Among them was Fr. Mychal Judge, OFM, chaplain to the New York City Fire Department, who went with firefighters into the danger to minister, pray, and bring the presence of Christ to those in need. He was killed while carrying out that ministry. Fr. Judge was designated Victim 0001, the first officially recorded fatality of the September 11 attacks.
Twenty-five years later, families still mourn those they love, and many continue to carry the wounds of that day. We pray that the Lord will pour out His mercy, consolation, and peace upon them.
We also remember how, in some of our nationโs darkest hours, ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ.As Christians, we know that hatred, evil, and death do not have the final word.
