We saw them disappear 23 years ago in a ruthless, heinous and unspeakable terrorist attack. But the Twin Towers live on in my memory, as I see the Two Spiritual Towers take their place. The images of Jesus and Mary have replaced the two landmark skyscrapers that disappeared for the iconic New York skyline forever. The metal and beams and glass are gone, but the spirit of what they represented will live on in the spirit of the people, as well as the 3,000 who lost their lives that day September 11, 2001. Let us pray and remember.
“When damaged, those buildings eventually plummeted to the ground,
imploding in a moment's time. Yet underneath the debris is a foundation that
was not destroyed. We have a choice, whether to implode and disintegrate
emotionally and spiritually as a people and a nation, or to become stronger
through this entire struggle to rebuild on a solid foundation. And I believe
that we're in the process of starting to rebuild on that foundation. That
foundation is our trust in God. And in that faith we have the strength to
endure something as difficult and horrendous as what we have experienced this
week.”- Rev Billy Graham
