Daily Inspiration

Today we remember the tragedy of a clear September morning, 14 years ago…

Gracious God,

All good gifts come from your hand,
and into our clumsy grasp
you entrust the precious realities
of life, justice and peace.

We remember this day
how fragile is the gift of peace
and how vulnerable are we
in each other’s hands.

We remember those who died
and those who mourn their loss…

We remember those whose courage
gave us a new model for bravery…

We remember those who gave their lives
to save their neighbors…

We remember and we pray
for the healing and peace
that only you can give
and that all of us must share…

Amen.
