"As we’re all very aware, we’re observing a significant anniversary this Sunday: the 10th anniversary of 9/11. There’s understandably been a huge media focus on this event: in print, online, on the radio, and especially on TV. It’s very easy for us to get sucked in.
"This happened to me after 9/11 itself. The media attention was 24/7, and like so many I was glued to the coverage for days on end. I spoke about this with a Catholic friend, when at one point in our conversation she asked: 'When am I going to start praying?' She realized that she was so immersed in the news of that tragedy, that she'd neglected to lift it up to the Lord in prayer. Just like me."
In a recent commentary, Father Scott Hurd (Executive Director of the Office of the Permanent Diaconate, Archdiocese of Washington) reflected on this year's tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack and on the role of forgiveness in such a tragic event.
