9/11 Remembered

When Father Mychal heard that the World Trade Center was hit by terrorists, he immediately went to the scene to administer last rites and to pray for the city. He was in the North Tower lobby doing this very task when falling debris killed him. Father Mychal is often called the first victim of 9/11. The image of his body being carried out of the rubble by first responders has been heralded as an American Pieta.

Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20

We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord. We pray that all unity may one day be restored. They'll know we are Christians by our love.
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.

We will work with each other, we will work side by side. We'll guard each one's dignity and save each one's pride. They'll know we are Christians by our love.
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.

We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand. Together we'll spread the news that God is in our land. They'll know we are Christians by our love.
Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.
