9/11, FAITH & PATRIOTISM

From Darkness to Light in Our National Remembrance

For 22 Years we have been remembering the Terrorist Attack on the anniversary of 9/11. But it is not simply one day we should be remembering. Three days later, on September 14, President Bush called for a National Day of Mourning and Prayer in the aftermath of the attack.

Listen as Fr. Bill talks about the importance of that Day of Prayer, September 14; what is celebrated in the Catholic Church, what should be remembered as a Nation, and how it all ties into what we remember in the Anniversary and Aftermath of the 9/11 Attack, and what we celebrate in our Identity and Resolve as both Christians and Americans.

9/11 and the STAR SPANGLED BANNER

Three days after the attacks on 9/11, President George W. Bush called on the nation to observe a National Day of Prayer.  In addition to that day (9/14) being the Catholic Feast of the Triumph of the Cross of Christ, it is also the anniversary of the triumph after the Siege of Fort McHenry, outside Baltimore, Maryland.

Join Fr. Bill as he discusses and relates the events of 9/11 with that important and overlooked anniversary.
