Sadly, IMO. It seems many have forgotten.

I sadly agree. I don’t want to start an argument about what has been done right and wrong, but I do want to say that if we dont’ contend with this enemy in this generation, I children will have to deal with it (or worse) in theirs.

And in Europe much more they have forgotten, but we have to remember.
 
True, people must never forget, but, I wonder how many people listened to the Gospel for this week?

24th Sunday of the Year, Cycle A
 
Gilliam, thanks for posting that. I feel sometimes that I can’t look at it but we have to. We have to remember it. Such powerful images. Really makes you realize what cowards these terrorists are. Thanks again.
 
Father Corapi mentioned it this week-end. (along with Katrina)…but he had a powerful spiritual to go with it! According to him (and i believe him), things will get worse before it gets better. Pray the rosary!

You must remember that part of forgiveness is sorrow and remorse.
 
Is it just me, or are do these images almost seem intentionally avoided by the press nowadays.

Thanks for pointing out what Sunday it is and which Gospel reading we heard. I don’t think I would have found it without your help being that I wasn’t listening and all.

Sunday’s reading talked about forgiving one’s brother not one’s enemy. Our Lord’s parable stressed the importance of repentance and the true desire to be forgiven. Further, the wrath of God was reigned down on the servant whose contrition was insincere.
"His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant!
I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to.
Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant,
as I had pity on you?’
Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers
until he should pay back the whole debt. "
In the Sacrament of Penance, true contrition and a commitment to avoid the near occasion of sin is required for absolution. Similarly, our brethren are obliged to be sorry for their transgressions against us in to warrant forgiveness. Further, one can forgive but that doesn’t necessarily mean tha we should sit around and wait for more death and destruction to be brought into our lives.

As soon as the Islamic facists who are hell-bent on demolishing Western civilization and restoring the Caliphate apologize and stop blowing up trains, pizza parlors, planes, buildings, ships, throwing wheelchair bound old men off cruise ships, taking and killing hostages and beheading innocent civilians, I’ll be glad to forgive them. Until then, I’ll just keep them in my prayers. That’s the best I can do.

Just in case I’m not listening again, what is the reading for this Sunday?
 
Thanks for the link. It was so hard to watch, but we need to remember.

Why is it that this is so important to remember?

Um…so we don’t allow it to happen again? So we know who our enemies are?

So we are realistic about the world in which we live?

Because some of us had family, friends, neighbors and co-workers in and around those buildings, some of whom didn’t come home?

For the same reason we remember July 4 and the Emancipation Proclaimation.

For the same reason the Jewish people say: “Never again!”

Could that be it?
