A 9-11 Remembrance

"The favors of the Lord are not exhausted. His mercies are not spent. Every morning, they are renewed. Great is his faithfulness. I will always trust in him." - Lamentations 3:22-24

Over the past few days, people around this region and this nation have been, individually and special ceremonies, remembering the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As part of his remembrance, Deacon Greg Kandra shared the homily given by Father Michael Duffy, OFM, (director of Saint Francis Inn, Philadelphia, PA) at the funeral of Father Mychal Judge, OFM, on 15 September. Father Mychal, a chaplain of the New York City Fire Department, was one of the 343 department members killed on September 11th at the World Trade Center (127 members have subsequently died due to illnesses related to their work in the rescue and recovery effort). The quote from Lamentations was included in the homily.
