Dear Friends,
This morning, I had the honor and pleasure to celebrate the Diocese of Bridgeport's Blue Mass marking the fifteenth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. This beautiful and awe inspiring event was organized by the Knights of Columbus to honor and remember the fallen from that fateful day.
September 11 was a somber and horrifying event in our history, it forever changed America. I firmly believe we should always remember that day and the tragic events, but what I like to focus on is the days following those events. I believe that the days and weeks after 9/11/2001 the people of New York and the world treated each other in the way that God intended and Jesus taught us.

Seventh grader Joseph G. represented Assumption as a gift bearer at the Blue Mass. Joseph was chosen as a living example of Christ's love and a shining example of how Jesus wants us to live. |
Take some time to Google "Gander, Newfoundland and September 11". If
you are not familiar with the story, it goes like this... This tiny town, with a tiny airport hosted 7,000 stranded airline
passengers when their flights were grounded and American airports were closed following the attacks. For an entire week the people of Gander put their own lives on hold and focused completely on the welfare and care of these
passengers. They closed schools to house the passengers, they opened their homes to feed them, and they took them on day trips to occupy them. The people of Gander truly live in the way Jesus taught.
So when they say, "Never forget 9/11" you should remember those that lost their lives and the brave souls that worked to save them. When I say "Never forget 9/12" you should remember the people of Gander, and try to live Christ's message of love in the way that they showed us to.
