As we begin a new school year, we hope for guidance and wisdom to approach all that we do with patience and hope. Help us embrace the gift of community in a new school year with new experiences. Today we observe September 11, Patriot Day. To honor those who protect and serve our communities, and gave everything that day, we encourage everyone to find ways to help and support our neighbors and families that are near to us, whether our acts be big or small.
Let us pray, God of love, we place in your loving arms the thousands of innocent lives that were lost on that unforgettable morning of September 11, 2001. We also remember the courage of the countless men and women who put their lives at risk in order to rescue, alleviate and bring solace to the afflicted.
We thank you for the community here at Notre Dame, who strives to create a safe and nourishing space for all. Guide us to start the year off strong and to make the most of all the opportunities that come our way. We pray this int he name of all that is Good and Holy, Amen.
prayer excerpt - Fr. Alberto Cutie, Xavier University
