I was still living in New York 11 years ago, and will never forget the horror of that day. And I lost a couple of friends, as well as a couple of fellow parishioners in the attacks on the WTC.

In light of this, I am making a rosary triduum for the repose of the souls of those who perished in the attacks. That’s it. No political statements, no diatribes about the perpetrators, no speculations, no conspiracy theories. Please do not profane their memories. They are gone from this world, and no amount of speculation or rage will change that fact. Just offer prayers for the repose of those who died that day, on the airliners, in the towers, at the Pentagon in Washington, and on the ground. May those who might be in purgatory be released, and may their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

I ask that anyone so inclined say a rosary each day, with this intention, starting this evening, and ending on the anniversary of the attacks.

Thank you for your kind attention and response to this.

It’s always an emotional day for New Yorkers and all Americans. I will say a prayer for those who died and their families.
 
Thank you for this. I lived in NJ back then, in an area where either you knew someone directly that perished, or you knew somebody who had a close friend or relative that perished. Our parish lost a Port Authority policeman and a woman who was on the United plane that went down in PA. One of my friends had a daughter who lost her fiancé-he worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. A co-worker lost three friends that he’d grown up with since kindergarten. It was day after day after day of funerals, the local radio announced the First Responder funerals to make sure the streets were lined with people to pray with the families.

I pray for all of them, all of their families…and everyone who has been affected in any way by the events of that day.
 
That day is one I will never forget. What a wonderful idea to dedicate a rosary for the next few days.

God bless.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Praying for the repose of the souls lost and for their family and friends.

They will never be forgotten.
 
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon them
May they rest in peace
AMEN

Not just Americans, a number of other nationalities lost thier lives that day, including 33 Canadians one of which was a close friend of mine.
 
I will include the souls of those dear departed ones in my rosary intentions.

I had the opportunity of visiting ground zero some years ago while on a concert choir trip with my daughter. The sadness and tragedy surrounding the area was almost tangible,but there is also an underlying testimony to the strength and love of all the first responders who gave up their lives for strangers.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death amen.
 
I have included these intentions in my rosary this evening.

Bless you for posting this, Odile.

There weren’t just u.s. americans who lost their lives in the attacks. 9/11 was an international tragedy, not an “american” one. We should combine our prayers with the whole world and not just ourselves. Pray for those who lost their lives and pray for peace that an act such as that is never provoked or repeated again.
 
I never knew there were so many American flags in Israel. It seems that every person had one after 9/11; every building, every window, every car.

We were all shocked and horrified, and as it happened, it was impossible to stay current on the Internet because traffic was so high and the servers couldn’t handle it.
