In your Holy Name we pray. Amen.   God of all Creation,  Today we pause as we do on this day every year and we remember vividly where we were on September 11th, 2001. Remembrances today remind of us the moment we knew our world had changed forever. As we remember today, keep us mindful of your steadfast love that endures through all t hings. Lord of all Life, we pray for every family for whom grief is fresh is today. We remember the 2,977 lives that were lost and we remember the bravery and dedication of every first responder who gave their life to save another. Be with us today, God. Comfort our wounds, cover our nation with peace, and give us hope for the future unafraid. Bind us together with your grace, make us vessels of your mercy, and unite us in bearing the Light of Christ in your world. Help us to remember and  the Light shines into the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it.  In your Holy Name we pray. Amen.
