Today, we join together in prayerful remembrance of the victims of that tragic day. We ask God to surround their loved ones with His peace and healing, to bless the first responders whose courage inspired a nation, and to keep alive the spirit of compassion and unity that emerged in the face of loss. May we always remember on this Patriot Day.

Back-to-School Blessing—
Dear God, We ask that You bless the students in our congregation, giving them inspirational teachers, studious habits, solid friendships, and Your grace in every moment of this school year. Bless the teachers and school staff in our congregation, too. Fill them with Your love and care so that, as they teach and minister to our young people, Your wisdom and light may be known, encountered, and shared.
Amen.

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
Vindication is related to the virtue of justice, which seeks to ensure the fairness of human interaction. If we truly put our trust in God and seek to do His will, we may not always have popularity, but we will have truth.

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
Virtuous zeal refers to an all-consuming love, which has for its object the Lord Himself. Closeness with God is impeded by anything contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ, so no person can be “zealous” for God if they are violent or hateful.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK —
Plenty of people are drawn to Jesus. Curious about him. Inspired by him. But can they carry the cross? Today, Jesus tells us that we cannot have one without the other — it is Christ and the cross, or nothing at all. Which will we choose?
