Lord,
On this sacred morning we remember the 2,977 souls taken from us twenty-five years ago.
Hold close every family still carrying that empty chair.
Comfort the widows, the children who grew up without a parent, the parents who buried their sons and daughters.
Bless the first responders who ran toward the fire and those who have since given their lives from the dust of that day.
Grant them peace that the world cannot give.
Let their sacrifice never be forgotten, and their memory never be dimmed.
Amen. 🙏
Never forget.
