Twenty-five years have passed since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, yet the sorrow of that day remains close for many. We remember the nearly 3,000 people whose lives were taken in New York City, at the Pentagon, and near Shanksville, Pa. We honor those who moved toward danger to help others, and we hold in prayer the families, survivors, rescue and recovery workers, and communities that continue to carry grief, trauma, illness, and loss. We also remember the suffering that followed.
Han transcurrido veinticinco años desde los atentados terroristas del 11 de septiembre, pero el dolor de aquel día sigue muy presente para muchos. Recordamos a las casi 3.000 personas que perdieron la vida en la ciudad de Nueva York, en el Pentágono y cerca de Shanksville, Pensilvania. Honramos a quienes se enfrentaron al peligro para ayudar a los demás y oramos por las familias, los sobrevivientes, los rescatistas y los trabajadores de recuperación, y las comunidades que siguen lidiando con el dolor, el trauma, la enfermedad y la pérdida.
También recordamos el sufrimiento que siguió.
Vennsenkan ane pase depi atak teworis 11 septanm yo, epoutan lapenn jou sa a toujou pre pou anpil moun. Nou sonje prèske 3,000 moun ki te pèdi lavi yo nan vil Nouyòk, nan Pentagòn nan, ak toupre Shanksville, Pa. Nou onore moun ki te deplase al nan direksyon danje pou ede lòt moun, epi nou priye pou fanmi yo, sivivan yo, travayè sekou ak rekiperasyon yo, ak kominote yo ki kontinye pote lapenn, chòk, maladi ak pèt. Nou sonje tou soufrans ki te vin apre yo.
We lined up two by two in rows on Liberty Street in Manhattan to enter onto the Foot Prints grounds where the Twin Towers had once stood. In the line were the families of survivors and those like myself, representatives of our faith communities. As the line began to move you first hear the sounds of the water flowing, and then all eyes beheld the sight of the mighty pool of never-ending, streaming waters.
