September 11, A Day of Remembrance & Prayer

 September 11
A Day of Remembrance and Prayer 

Almighty and merciful God, with sorrow we remember the tragic events that occurred on this day. We entrust to your loving care, those who died in the terrorist attacks. Console their families, friends, and all who mourn. We remember those who courageously responded to aid and comfort the afflicted.   May their painful memories be healed and transformed into strong resolution. Bring justice and peace to our violent world. In the face of hatred, may we show love; in times of despair, may we be voices of hope. In times of darkness, let us be sources of light. You may be glorified and Your love be known to others through us.
