Today the United States remembers the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In a letter to the seminarian community, Father Rector Denis Robinson reflects on that day, and gives these words of advise for us all:
"If there is a clear lesson for us to learn from 9/11, perhaps it is that nothing is straightforward and simple, particularly the human spirit. Prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance are never the answer to life's complexity. God's love is always the answer and that love is as vast and deep as history, as profound and immense as the cosmos."
Let us as a country learn to forgive those that have trespassed against us, as we have been forgiven ourselves for the numerous transgressions of sin committed against our loving God.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.
