Prayer that Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis both have said this prayer while on trips to New York to honor, remember and pray for the victims of September 11.
God Bless America
Comfort and console us, strengthen us in hope, and give us the wisdom and courage to work tirelessly for a world where true peace and love reign among nations and in the hearts of all.
God of understanding, overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy, we seek your light and guidance as we confront such terrible events. Grant that those whose lives were spared may live so that the lives lost here may not have been lost in vain.
God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the earth. Turn to your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred.
We are mindful as well of those who suffered death, injury, and loss on the same day at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Our hearts are one with theirs as our prayer embraces their pain and suffering.
We ask you in your compassion to bring healing to those who because of their presence that day, suffer from injuries and illness. Heal the pain of still-grieving families and all who lost loved ones in this tragedy. Give them strength to continue their lives with courage & hope.
...personnel, along with all the innocent men and women who were victims of this tragedy simply because their work or service brought them here on September 11, 2001.
We ask you in your goodness to give eternal light and peace to all who died hereโ the heroic first-responders: our fire fighters, police officers, emergency service workers, and Port Authority...
O God of love, compassion, and healing, look on us, people of many different faiths and traditions, who gather today at this site, the scene of incredible violence and pain....
...We will have a table as part of the Ministry and would appreciate our members helping out at the table and talking up the Ladies Auxiliary to the others present at this mass.ย Hopefully we can gain some new members.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

As I mentioned at our September Membership Meeting, we are donating a dessert and would appreciate it if anyone could donate some also.ย They are asking everyone to bring and contribute non-perishable food items to help keep the Parish Outreach Pantry well-stocked....
Mass will be followed by the St. Anthonyโs Annual Parish BBQ & Parish Ministry Fair. Although there will be chairs, everyone is invited to bring their own chairs so no one has to stand.
A reminder that the Welcome Home Sunday at St. Anthonyโs is THIS SUNDAY, September 13th. It is an Outdoor Mass on the Parish Green at 12:30 PM.ย The Celebrant will be Bishop John O. Barres.ย Father Chris Costigan will be formally installed as Pastor of St. Anthonyโs Parish...
Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord; And let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
