Today, we pray for the civilians and first responders who lost their lives as a result of the events on September 11th, 2001. #NeverForget Enable us, dear God, to put an end to fear. By resolving to live lives that are based on respect for one another. By resolving to abide in a peaceful manner and never settle disagreements in our lives in a violent way. By resolving not to fall into the trap of blaming entire ethnic groups, races, or religions in response to acts of hostility. By resolving that justice, not revenge, prevail in our world. Let us resolve that in the face of hatred, we will show love. That in times of despair, we will be voices of hope and creators of new dreams. That in times of darkness, we will be sources of light. And, let us honor the memory of nearly 3,000 individuals who died on September 11, 2001. By resolving, with Your help Almighty God, To truly live this way so You may be glorified and Your love made known to others through us. Amen
