Bishop Schwerin invites all to join him in this prayer of grief and hope:

This date, 9/11, and its significance turn 23 today. We cannot unsee what we saw, nor can we undo the harm wrought by terror and violence.
We lift to you all who grieve today, especially those whose loss is tied to their remembrance of this date. Thank you for the selfless ones who ran into buildings and who resisted on planes. Thank you for the way your Spirit hears our laments and calls us to nonviolent love and well-being.

Amen.
