September 11, 2022 - The Power of God!
Do we believe that "FOR GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE”? Do we believe that GOD CAN TRANSFORM US? Can we see the LOVE OF GOD in our own life? GOD THE FATHER HAS SENT US HIS SON so that we can all have LIFE, ETERNAL LIFE. JESUS CHRIST IS GOD. HE IS LOVE. HE IS MERCIFUL LOVE.
The Gospels show us the POWER OF GOD through the life of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: HIS POWER, HIS GRACE, HIS MERCIFUL LOVE. JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH US. WE CAN ASK AND WE WILL RECEIVE. We just need to DESIRE. We just need TO RECEIVE HIS GRACE. HE will then transform us.

PRAYER OF REMEMBRANCE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS*
Ground Zero Memorial, New York
Friday, 25 September 2015
O God of love, compassion, and healing,
look on us, people of many different faiths
and religious traditions, who gather today on this hallowed ground, the scene of unspeakable violence and pain.
We ask you in your goodness to give eternal light and peace to all who died here: the heroic first-responders: our fire fighters, police officers, emergency service workers and Port Authority personnel, along with all the innocent men and women who were victims of this tragedy simply because their work or service brought them here on September 11.
We ask you, in your compassion,to bring healing to those who,because of their presence here fourteen years ago, continue to suffer from injuries and illness.
Heal, too, the pain of still-grieving families and all who lost loved ones in this tragedy. Give them strength to continue their lives with courage and hope.
We are mindful as well of those who suffered death, injury, and loss on the same day at the Pentagon
and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Our hearts are one with theirs as our prayer embraces their pain and suffering. God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the earth.
Turn to your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred, and who justify killing in the name of religion. God of understanding,
overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy, we seek your light and guidance as we confront such terrible events. Grant that those whose lives were spared may live so that the lives lost here may not have been lost in vain. Comfort and console us, strengthen us in hope, and give us the wisdom and courage to work tirelessly for a world where true peace and love reign among nations and in the hearts of all.
