Nation marks 9/11 anniversary with prayer, reflection
WASHINGTON (RNS) Believers across the nation heard from faith leaders
this weekend as millions of Americans wrestled with the spiritual
challenges and lessons of 9/11.
On the 10th anniversary, Archbishop of New York Timothy Dolan called
the attacks in 2001 battles in "a war between sin and grace," a war
mirrored within every human soul.
In his homily to the packed St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan on
Sunday (Sept. 11), Dolan concluded that God won "as temptations to
despair, fearful panic, revenge and dread gave way to such things as
rescue, recovery, rebuilding, outreach and resilience."
