Like most people my age I remember where I was when the planes crashed, and like many I’ve watched over a decade of continued fighting and violence on both sides.
There is so much to say but I simply wanted to offer up this prayer from Shane Claiborne. You can find it here along with this hopeful article of reflections on 9/11: Ten Years Later .This is my prayer today;
“May we continue to choose the folly of the cross in a world of smart bombs. Jesus, give us the courage to follow Your cross in a world that continues to pick up the sword and die by the sword. Help us love those who hurt us—and may our love wear down their hatred. May our grace dull the sharpest sword.
And may we become people who do not conform to the patterns of this world but are transformed by the renewing of our minds. God give us imagination that we might refuse to accept the world as it is and insist on dreaming of the world as it could be.”
Amen
