SILENT NIGHT/9-11

You say you will never forget where you were when you

heard the news on September 11, 2001. Neither will I.



I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man

who called his wife to say "Goodbye." I held his fingers

steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I

am not going to make it, but it is OK ... I am ready to go." I

was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to

their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his

words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that

night.



I was in a stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried

out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of

your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you

the way home - only believe in Me now."



I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering

to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend

to his Flock in Heaven. He heard My voice and answered.



I was with the Firefighters, the Police Officers, the

Emergency Workers. I was there, watching each brave step

they took.



I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every

prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in

the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and

assuring them that their faith has saved them.



I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you

when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?



I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every

name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first

time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last

breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the

smoke and flames; "Come to Me ... this way ... take My hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.



I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know

why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive

moment in time, would you have reached for Me?



September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you.

But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for

you as well.



Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment,

you know you are "ready to go." I will be in the stairwell of

your final moments.



Remember, I love you . . .
