Remind us, O God,
that the real question is not,
“Where were you when
the world stopped turning
that September day?”
but “Where have you been
since then, and who are you now?”
Remind us that the quickest way
for terror to win is for hatred,
fear, anxiety, and xenophobia to flourish.
Remind us that it will be defeated
when understanding, hope, education,
peace, love triumph.
Remind us that grace is the gift
we have been given
to bring to the struggle.
