May God who has offered healing and strength through the hands of His only Son, Our Lord, and through Christ's many servants grant me the favor of His servant.

Remembering September 11, 2001

Come, Holy Spirit of Love and Peace,
we long for your healing touch.

On September 11, 2001,
   our country was scarred
   by hatred and revenge ...
   we long for your healing touch.

Hearts were broken and lives were lost,
   and fear and anger prevailed ...
   we long for your healing touch.

Awaken in us, Holy Spirit,
   a deep and respectful remembrance ...
   that you are a God of love, not hatred,
   that you are a God of forgiveness, not revenge,
   that you are a God of peace, not war.

Remembering these things, we ask you to
   bless our country and all those defending
   its ideals of freedom and liberty
   and bring them safely home.

May your gifts of peace, love, and forgiveness
   transform our hatred, anger, and fear,
   so that peace on earth will be possible once again.

Come Holy Spirit of Love and Peace,
we long for your healing touch.

Apostles Creed
I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen.
