Liturgy Preparation: 9/11 - 25th Anniversary
Many parishes in the United States will be commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. This should be an occasion to pray for all those who perished that day. It should also be a time to plea to God for peace in a world that continues to be plagued by wars. This resource from the FDLC offers a variety of options for Mass texts, a presider text for a complete prayer service, suggested readings, music suggestions, sample intercessions, and other prayers.
