A PRAYER OF REMEMBRANCE for the 25th Anniversary
Observance of 911 - offered at Grace Church Mass September 6th
by the Very Rev. Dr. Walter V. Hillebrand, Rector
Father of all, remember your holy promise, and look with love on all your people, living and departed.
Today, we pray especially for all who had suffered and died during the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, and for those who escaped but are forever scarred.
We pray for all those who waited anxiously at home for words from their loved ones,
for those who still mourn, and those communities that were diminished and suffered loss.
Remember and thank all those who acted with kind compassion,
those who bravely risked their own lives searching for survivors,
and all those first responders and all helpers who have become sick after their exposure and now suffer.
Lord, let us pray for our community and ourselves,
grant us peace in our time and a longing for the day when people of every language, race, and nation will be brought into the unity of Christ’s kingdom. AMEN
