9-11 Tragedy and the Falling Man....

The 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 tragedy is upcoming. 

Pray for
this man
The image that haunts me even now, 10 years later, is the image of the "falling man", who jumped out of one of the World Trade Center towers, because he was going to burn to death. Instead he had a horrible fall to his death. 

No one knows the name of this man. He could be any one of thousands who died that day. 

Pray for mankind,
that we can end
the sorrow.
What a tragedy. What a shame on all humans who kill innocent strangers including the falling man. 

The Greek Philosopher, Plato, who died about 350 years before Christ, said:

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."

And what a shame, that after the passage of 2,360 years, we are still the same. We have not evolved. We have not changed. We have not grown up. 

God help us all. 

Jesus, Mary and all saints and all angels pray for us. Amen.
