A Prayer for the 9/11 Anniversary
O God,
On the anniversary of 9/11, we call on your spirit to empower us to shape a world marked by ways of life that lead to justice and peace. We are still aware of the fear and violence that has permeated our world since September 11, 2001. As we pray in remembrance of that tragic day, help us to be people of nonviolence and hope. Form us into a people determined to heal wounds rather than inflict them. We ask this in the name of Jesus who came among us to show us the way.
Amen.
