Remembering 9/11: A Song and a Prayer

As we remember 9/11/01, let's also remember that peace begins with each person. Here's a video of the Choirboys singing "Let There be Peace on Earth." (Email subscribers click here for the video.) Please take time to look at the faces of the children. Let this be our prayer:


Here's a prayer from Education for Justice (feel free to share with others):

Prayer for 9/11
The flames and ashes proclaimed our brokenness,
But healing was our challenge and our call,
Our vocation in the Spirit.
We must continue as a human community
To move toward wholeness,
To repair the ravages of hate,
To bring together
Rather than to tear apart.
The open gesture of trust must replace
The clenched fist, the refusal of the other's hand.
Only in building inclusive community
Do we construct a healing truth:
We are all fragile children of God
Needing each other for wholeness.
