September 11, 2001 was probably a beautiful day to go off to work and do all of the routine duties of life for so many people who would suffer and die through no fault of their own, before this day was over. The news broke fast and furiously as each one of us were hopelessly mesmerized by the horror unfolding before us on the television screens. Like all catastrophes we feel the sense of loss and our hearts and souls go out to those who are the victims. It has been eight years since this attack occurred and yet it remains as fresh in our minds as if it were yesterday. A memorial has been built in honor of those people lost in this Holocaust and today their names are being read out loud. I heard of an old adage which states that if you say the name of the person who has died their soul is blessed forever. So today, although we do not know the individual names, let us offer up a prayer for 'the souls of 9-11' and all of their families left behind who are still mourning for the loss of their loved ones.
If you are out and about, stop by a church and light a candle for all of them, and for all your family and friends, one never knows when the light of the candle will be just the light needed for today.
