I have no great insights.
I can’t say anything better than what so many people have already said, and will say.
But I feel somehow like I would be remiss if I didn’t say:
God bless those who died five years ago today; God bless their families and friends; and God please give us the grace to also pray for the people responsible. Because as Our Lord Himself said, it is no great thing to pray for those who love you; pray instead for your enemies, those who hate you.
I guess this goes to show my own weakness: I still can’t bring myself to pray for them yet. But someone once suggested that I pray for willingness to be willing: that I pray for God to give me the grace to open my ears and heart, so that He can then put the will to do His will into me. When I can’t pray for something, and I can’t even quite pray to be willing to do something, I can still pray “Lord, make me willing to be willing.”
Amen.
