“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” –Helen Keller
Prayer
Divine Healer,
On this day we pause to bear witness, not only to the suffering caused by such a tragedy as 9/11, but also to the power of community and the pathways of healing that allow us to emerge from the darkest of days and stand together. Continue to strengthen and transform us, as a people and nation, that we might better confront evil and pain with goodness and love. And may all those who are particularly stricken with grief today continue finding comfort and support in tangible ways. As those called by your name, longing to see your will be done on earth as in heaven, we pray. Amen.
