This Friday marks 14 years since the dreadful event that
altered the landscape of our country—in ways both literal and figurative. Who
will ever forget, having lived through September 11, 2001, the horror and
outrage we felt, as we confronted the terrible loss of life, and the prospect
of an evil enemy who would willfully extinguish those lives?
We pray for the souls of those who were cruelly taken
from this world in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and we ask our Lord to grant
peace to those who have suffered loss and hardship in the long aftermath of
that infamous day.
As Armenian Christians—who are no strangers to the
sufferings of destruction and death—we may cast our thoughts upon the Holy
Cross: once a fearsome instrument of death, but transformed, through the
suffering of our Lord Jesus, into a sign of divine life. In the Cross of
Christ, we receive our highest assurance of God’s loving solidarity with
mankind—even in our deepest pain and suffering.
