9/11 - Lest We Forget


Do not allow yourselves to be overly saddened by the unfortunate accidents of this world.

You are not aware of the benefits that they bring and by what secret judgment of God

they are arranged for the eternal joy of the Elect.

St. John of the Cross

The Twin Towers were attacked and brought to smoldering ash.

Many were humbled and called upon the name of the Lord. (2 Chronicles 7:14).

The real towers, the real Statue of Liberty for America will not

Be found in any man-made edifice or ideology. The real towers, our

True monuments of liberty – authentic liberty - are found in

the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

These are the Twin Towers of grace and hope which we must rely upon.

These Twin Towers of faith and strength are found in the Catholic Church.

If you take the Catholic Church out of America,

you take away the cement that is binding us together,

and all that remains is moral death.

May the angels lead you into Paradise.

May the martyrs come to greet you on the way.
May they lead you home to the holy city,

to the new and eternal Jerusalem.
