In Remembrance of 9/11

This is a poem Catherine wrote shortly after the attack in 2001 and shared with our church family several days before the year anniversary of this tragic event. Hard to believe 11 years later we are still in a war as a result of 9/11. May we continue to pray for all persons impacted by this tragedy then, now and in the years to come.

Above all else let us live as faithful followers of the Prince of Peace and, in the words of the author of the Letter to the Colossians: “As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other….” (Colossians 3:12-13, NRSV)
