On Wednesday, September 11th we will commemorate the 23rd anniversry of the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentegon, and the plane that crashed into the field in Shanksville Pennsylvania. Let us pray for all who perisehed that day andthose who have died as a result. May we strive to be people of peace and work for justice.
Let us pray: O God, our hope and refuge, in distress we come quickly to you. Shock and horror of that tragic day have subsided, replaced now with an emptiness, a longing for innocence lost.
We come remembering those who lost their lives in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania.
We are mindful of the sacrifice of public servants who demonstrated the greatest love all by laying down their lives for friends. We commit their souls to your eternal care and celebrate gifts a fallen humanity.
We come remembering and we in hope, not ourselves, but you.
As foundations we once thought secure have been shaken, we are reminded of the illusion security. In commemorating this tragedy, give you thanks for your presence in our time need and we seek to worship you in Spirit truth, our guide and guardian. Amen.
