Just Knowing Who The First Martyr Was…..
I’m looking back through the pictures, the videos, remembering the first time I heard the phrase “Holy War”.
How could the terrorests have know that the first official victom would be Father Mychal Judge, a Catholic Priest that became Chaplain of the Fire Department of New York in 1992.
I don’t think they understood exactly who was going to be whispering in God’s ear that day…..
After Father Mychal Judge passed away on September 11, 2001 when the north tower collapsed. Father Judge’s body bag was labeled “Victim 0001.”
Im not in any way trying to take away any loss I feel for all the souls that were lost that day. I do feel he lead the others to where they needed to go that morning…
His helmet was given to Pope John Paul II shortly after his death…
Father Mychal Judge’s Prayer he would say often….
Lord, tell me where You want me to go,
Let me meet who You want me to meet,
Tell me what You want me to say,
And keep me out of Your way.
——————————–
I take that prayer to heart….
I also know, in my heart, that God has a plan and were all a part of it…
Al Qaeda started this one and in the end, God wins. God always wins.

I don’t know why I found that video - but I felt it necessary to share it.
Know that I am God :
Ezekiel Chapter 28
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou shalt prophesy of it, And shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall execute judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. And I will send into her pestilence, and blood in her streets: and they shall fall being slain by the sword on all sides in the midst thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
And the house of Israel shall have no more a stumbling block of bitterness, nor a thorn causing pain on every side round about them, of them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
Thus saith the Lord God: When I shall have gathered together the house of Israel out of the people among whom they are scattered: I will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.

Just knowing who the first Martyr was brings me peace…..
But I know, its not over yet….and I pray for all who have not found that peace yet.
I will always remember…until God tells me I no longer have to.
