A prayer on the anniversary of September 11th from the Episcopal Diocese of New York:

O Almighty God, who brings good out of evil and turns even the wrath of your
children towards your promised peace: Hear our prayers this day as we remember
those of many nations and differing faiths whose lives were cut short by the fierce
flames of anger and hatred. Hasten the time when the menace of war shall be
removed. Cleanse both us and those perceived to be our enemies of all hatred and
distrust. Pour out the spirit of peace on all the rulers of our world that we may be
brought through strife to the lasting peace of the kingdom of your Son; Jesus
Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen

We hope you’ll join us for our big 150th anniversary celebration! On Sunday, September 13 we’ll have a festive Holy Eucharist followed by a luncheon. Whether you’re a long time parishioner, new member, neighbor, or friend of Holy Cross, we hope to see you there!

Collect ~ For LABOR DAY
ALMIGHTY GOD, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
