We remember the lives lost on September 11, and we remember too the long shadow of violence, war, and division that followed. The pain of that day has shaped nations, hardened hearts, and left wounds that still ache today.

Turn us away from the cycles of fear and retribution.
Teach us to seek justice without vengeance, and security without oppression.
Remind us that true strength is found in compassion, and lasting peace is built in understanding.

Guide our leaders and communities so that, in memory of all who suffered, we may choose paths of reconciliation and hope, so that the legacy of 9/11 is not more violence, but a renewed commitment to a world where peace is possible.

Amen.

May I discover Your presence in the rustle of leaves, the song of birds, and the gentle caress of the wind. In those moments, let me glimpse the eternal harmony that unites the seen and the unseen.

In the spirit of authenticity, strip away the masks I wear and reveal the true self that is rooted in You. May I find courage in vulnerability and authenticity in humility, surrendering to the transformative power of Your love.

The cries of the earth and of the poor have always been intertwined in our land. Sometimes these cries are loud and obvious, for example when floods and fires claim lives and livelihoods. However other cries often go unnoticed. They include the cries of incarcerated children, asylum seekers held in indefinite detention, of people seeking to escape abusive relationships, and of the First Peoples seeking justice. We make this prayer in the name of Jesus, our risen Lord, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen
