"On this day of solemn remembrance:

May we honor the lives that were lost in this tragic act.

May we give thanks for those who served and saved, rendered aid and assistance.

May we give comfort to those who live with loss.

May we seek justice and peace where it is within our ability,

and rely on you when the ability escapes us.

"On this day of solemn remembrance:

May we build what has been torn down.

May we mend what has been broken.

May live Your love when hate seems to reign.

May we bear witness to the cause of peace. Amen."

In Faith, Hope, and Love,

Fr. Cliff
