WE REMEMBER ~ SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

We remember and pray for the innocent victims of September 11, 2001.

We remember and pray for the survivors of September 11, 2001.

We remember and pray for those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001.

We pray for our fire fighters, police, EMT, rescue workers, nurses, doctors and all public service personnel and for their loved ones that support them.

We pray for our U.S. Military men and women that dedicate their lives to protecting our freedom and for their loved ones that wait for their return.

We pray for our great nation; that tragedies, though terrible, bring us closer together not tear us apart, and continue to show the love and compassion we Americans are all capable of.

We pray for those who are tempted to think that violence accomplishes anything of lasting value in this world, in our country, in our cities, in our towns, in our neighborhoods or in our homes.

We pray for the peacemakers in the world.

MAY GOD, WHO IS PEACE, BLESS AMERICA

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

Where there is injury, pardon,

Where there is doubt, faith,

Where there is despair, hope,

Where there is darkness, light,

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,

not so much to be understood as to understand,

not so much to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.
