In the ashes of Sept. 11.

SEPTEMBER 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001; DEATH; BERRIGAN, Daniel, 1921-2016; PRIESTS; TERRORISTS; FORGIVENESS

The article presents the experience of the author on the night of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. She learned of her brother's death and the others who were with him in when tragedy struck the World Trade Center towers. A priest, Dan Berrigan, enlightened her and asked her to forgive the terrorists for they had lost their humanity and connectedness with God just like most people do, although not in the same magnitude.
