THE 'MIRACLE CROSS' AT GROUND ZERO 🇺🇸✝️
25 years ago, amid the unforgettable devastation of Ground Zero, a 17-foot-long crossbeam weighing at least two tons was discovered standing in the wreckage of the World Trade Center.
Franciscan priest Fr. Brian Jordan, who had been blessing the remains of victims, saw the cross as a powerful reminder that God had not abandoned Ground Zero. He fought to preserve it, blessed it, and for months celebrated Sunday Mass there, ministering to firefighters, police officers, recovery workers and grieving families.
Stat crux dum volvitur orbis (the cross stands while the world turns).
From unimaginable tragedy emerged this powerful symbol of faith, hope, healing, and redemption. The cross remains part of the 9/11 Memorial Museum today. Even after atheist groups tried to have it removed, a judge ruled that it could remain on display because of its historical significance.
"Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus is a burden without a reliever" Ven. Fulton Sheen
25 years later, we remember. We pray. We never forget.
Charlie Kirk died with a microphone in his hand—not a gun, a knife, or a grenade, but an instrument of communication. When we stop believing in the dignity of the human person, violence takes its place. A year later, that is still the wound. May he rest in peace.
I was lucky to have been Bobby's Director of Communications when he decided to leave the Democratic Party to join Donald Trump.
In this incredible speech, he does more than explain his personal reasons for leaving the party of his family - he describes the reason millions of us left together.
If you believe in free speech, if you believe in the right to assembly, if you believe in women's rights, if you believe in parental rights, if you believe in scientific integrity, and if you believe in Making America Healthy Again - take twenty minutes to listen to this.
Good morning, intercessors. Today, we remember and honor those Americans and patriots who passed away 25 years ago, on September 11, 2001. Let us pray for our country today. Lord, we honor those who passed away on 9/11. We pray for the families that You would give them peace. Strengthen them, encourage them, and protect them. May we never forget, so that we may continue to fight for our country and stand for truth and for Christ. Amen.
Mamdani and AOC laughing while names of victims of 9/11 are being read should be in every single campaign ad in every single city in America until November.
This is the Democratic Socialist Party.
They hate you. They hate America.
Blast this everywhere
25 years ago, President Trump went to Ground Zero, paid workers to help find and identify victims and clear rubble.
God has been preparing Trump to be president his entire life. God bless him.
Every American should know about this.
Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan Friar who served as Chaplain for the New York Fire Department. While staying in the lobby of the North Tower to offer comfort, absolution, and last rites, Father was the official first fatality of 9/11 after the tower was hit with debris from the collapse of the South Tower.
This was the final homily he gave to the NYFD the day before dying in the World Trade Center. Never forget the priests who will face danger to give us the necessary sacraments.

The CIA just declassified 71 Presidential Daily Briefs spanning 1998 through September 2001 on the anniversary of 9/11
One of the documents, dated December 4, 1998, warned President Clinton that Bin Laden and his allies were preparing attacks inside the United States, including aircraft hijackings. It said operatives had already done a trial run and evaded security at a New York airport.
Members of the network had received hijack training. Another 1998 brief was titled “Reports That Bin Laden is Planning Attacks Inside the US.” The well-known August 6, 2001 PDB “Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US” came more than a month before the attacks.
Bill Clinton knew and did nothing.
A cross was formed by steel beams recovered from the rubble of the World Trade Center site following the Islamist terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. During the recovery efforts, Catholic Mass was celebrated every Sunday at the base of the cross.
September 11 should never be reduced to just a date on the calendar.
It was a day when thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives, families were shattered, and our country was changed forever. It was also a day when firefighters, police officers, paramedics, flight crews, office workers, and ordinary citizens showed the world what courage really looks like.
Some never made it home.
Some gave everything trying to save a stranger.
Some carried the scars of that day for the rest of their lives.
So today we remember all of them.
The mothers and fathers.
The sons and daughters.
The workers.
The passengers.
The first responders.
The heroes.
We honor the lives taken.
We honor the courage shown.
And we promise never to forget.
God bless every soul we lost on 9/11, and God bless the heroes who ran toward the danger.
A quarter of a century has passed since September 11, 2001, when the peace of our Nation was shattered by terrorists.
Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, & keep their families in the heart of our Nation.
Above all, we must ensure the memory of 9/11 never fades, but is carried from one generation of Americans to the next.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🚨 JUST NOW: Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi just gave her UNWAVERING support to the United States of America on 9/11, directly calling out terrorism
She’s a great ally 🇺🇸 🇯🇵
“These attacks were utterly despicable and unforgivable acts. Terrorism constitutes a challenge to the free and open international order and can never be justified for any reason whatsoever.”
“As a nation, Japan is committed to continuing its efforts, in close cooperation with the international community, to prevent terrorism before it occurs.”
Here’s when Takaichi met Trump late last year.
WE LOVE JAPAN 👏🏻
Father, we ask You to guide the Trump administration as it considers this major change. We pray our leaders would continue to encourage and support traditional American families.
