9/11 REMEMBERED Fifteen years ago, the continuing TV coverage of the imploding twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York was unbearable for me, as were accounts of the crashes and destruction in Washington and the hills of Pennsylvania. The immense devastation of human life was incompre-hensible. Visiting the site in New York some five years later reopened searing wounds, and over-whelmed me with immense sadness. An incursion on our soil, carefully planned and executed by foreign elements, had shattered my cherished sense of security, and provoked a frightening sense of God’s absence. How could my Catholic faith tradition enable me to endure this tragedy? I knew that neither vengeance nor sweeping animosity was an option for me.

You have left us crushed . . . covered us with darkness. We are bowed down to the ground (Psalm 44:20, 26). O L of hosts, restore us; Let your face shine upon us (Psalm 80:4).

The Psalmist cries a lament, expressing the mourning of the Israelite people, the chosen of God, who had regarded themselves as untouch- able and above reproach, now hurled into misery. The lament expresses a nation’s agony, dares to complain against their divine protector, may even own some complicity in the misery, and finally pleads with God for deliverance. In the midst of lamenting, the faith of Israel endured, as must ours. We are as vulnerable as they were to the violence and hatred that seem to encircle us. Our demand for a divine explanation goes unheeded. Yet we have learned of the self-sacrificing heroism of many, witnessing to the finest character of our nation and of our Christian heritage. Dying for one’s friends is a sacred theme in our story, epitomized in Jesus, our Savior, and extended through centuries in the grandest and noblest acts of men & women in all circumstances. In 2001 we came together as one nation under God, sharing the grief, the disillusionment, and the promise to rebuild. As today we lament our honored dead and wounded, shall we translate such agonizing emotion into a persistent pursuit of world-wide reconciliation and peace?

CROWN NURSING HOME VISITS

There are a small number of Eucharistic Ministers who have been committed to the ministry of visiting the sick at home and in Crown Nursing Home. They bring Our Lord Jesus Christ to the patients who cannot join us in the communal Celebration of the Mass. In the Gospel of Matthew 25:40, Jesus says,

“Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

“Would you answer Jesus’s call to visit the sick and home bound?” Please call the Rectory and leave your name and phone number and Donna Byrnes will get in touch with you. Thank you.

Ushers are needed at all Masses.
