We commit their souls to Your eternal care and celebrate their gifts to a fallen humanity.
We come remembering and we come in hope, not in ourselves, but in You.
As foundations we once thought secure have been shaken,
we are reminded of the illusion of security.
In commemorating this tragedy, we give You thanks for your presence in our time of need and we seek to worship You in Spirit and in truth, our guide and our guardian. Amen.
