9/11 REMEMBERED
Fifteen years ago, the continuing TV coverage of the
imploding twin towers of the World Trade Center in New
York was unbearable for me, as were accounts of the
crashes and destruction in Washington and the hills of
Pennsylvania. The immense devastation of human life
was incomprehensible. Visiting the site in New York
some five years later reopened searing wounds, and
overwhelmed me with immense sadness. An incursion on
our soil, carefully planned and executed by foreign
elements, had shattered my cherished sense of security,
and provoked a frightening sense of God’s absence.
How could my Catholic faith tradition enable me to
endure this tragedy? I knew that neither vengeance nor
sweeping animosity was an option for me.
You have left us crushed . . . covered us with darkness.
We are bowed down to the ground (Psalm 44:20, 26).
O Lਏ਒਄ of hosts, restore us;
Let your face shine upon us (Psalm 80:4).
The Psalmist cries a lament, expressing the mourning
of the Israelite people, the chosen of God, who had
regarded themselves as untouchable and above reproach,
now hurled into misery. The lament expresses a nation’s
agony, dares to complain against their divine protector,
may even own some complicity in the misery, and finally
pleads with God for deliverance.
In the midst of lamenting, the faith of Israel endured,
as must ours. We are as vulnerable as they were to the
violence and hatred that seem to encircle us. Our demand
for a divine explanation goes unheeded. Yet we have
learned of the self-sacrificing heroism of many,
witnessing to the finest character of our nation and of our
Christian heritage. Dying for one’s friends is a sacred
theme in our story, epitomized in Jesus, our Savior, and
extended through centuries in the grandest and noblest
acts of men and women in all circumstances.
In 2001 we came together as one nation under God,
sharing the grief, the disillusionment, and the promise to
rebuild. As today we lament our honored dead and
wounded, shall we translate such agonizing emotion into a
persistent pursuit of worldwide reconciliation and peace?
—Rev.
RECORDAR EL 11 DE SEPTIEMBRE
Hace quince años la cobertura continua que la televisión hizo del derrumbe de las torres gemelas del Centro
Mundial de Comercio en Nueva York fue algo intolerable
para mí, y de igual manera fueron los choques y destrucción en Washington y en las colinas de Pensilvania. La
incontable destrucción de vidas humanas era incomprensible. Visitar el sitio en Nueva York casi cinco años después
reabrió heridas dolorosas y una gran tristeza se apoderó de
mí. Un ataque en nuestra tierra, cuidadosamente planeado
y llevado a cabo por individuos extranjeros, destrozó el
sentido halagador que tenía de seguridad, y me provocó
una sensación horrible de ausencia de Dios.
¿Cómo podría mi fe católica ayudarme a sobrellevar
esta tragedia? Yo sabía que ni la venganza ni el rencor
eran opciones para mí.
Pero nos aplastaste… y nos cubrió la sombra de la
muerte.
Nos arrastramos por el polvo. (Salmo 44:20, 26a)
¡Oh Dios de los ejércitos, restablécenos,
haz brillar tu faz y sálvanos! (Salmo 80:4)
El salmista grita un lamento que expresa luto por el
pueblo israelita, el elegido de Dios, el cual se cree intocable y por encima del reproche, y que ahora está en la
miseria. El lamento es la agonía de una nación que se
atreve a quejarse en contra de su divino protector, quien
puede ser en parte responsable de esa miseria, pero al
final clama a Dios por su liberación.
En medio de los lamentos, la fe de Israel sufrió, como le pasa a la nuestra. Somos tan vulnerables como lo
fueron ellos a la violencia y al odio que parece rodearnos. Nuestra exigencia por una explicación de la divinidad caen en saco roto. Más aún, aprendimos del sacrificio altruista y heroico de muchos, dando testimonio de lo
mejor de nuestra nación y herencia cristiana. Morir por
los amigos de uno es el tema sagrado de nuestra historia
personificada por Jesús, nuestro Salvador, y prolongada a
través de los siglos en las acciones nobles y extraordinarias de hombres y mujeres en todas las circunstancias.
En el 2001 nos unimos como una sola nación, compartiendo el dolor, la desilusión y la promesa de reconstruirnos. Así como hoy lloramos y honramos a los muertos y heridos, ¿debemos interpretar esta emoción dolorosa en una búsqueda perseverante de paz y reconciliación
en el mundo?

St. Vincent de Paul Cemetery
Burial in a Catholic Cemetery is an Affirmation
and reflection of our Catholic Faith. The St. Vincent
de Paul Cemetery in Rancho Murieta is a part of the
Catholic Funeral and Cemeteries organization
A few years back some individual parishioners
would do the volunteer work with the Cemeteries
organization supplying the mowers and tools to
maintain the facilities.
The History of the Cemetery goes back to the
1860’s. The main part of the original church was on
what is now the 15th Green.
In 1999 a group of volunteers was formed and I
was selected as the chairman. I was given this task
by Msgr. O’Connor, and we all know if he wanted a
project done it got done. Many changes have been
made to list a few of them: A roadway was built in
the interior, a storage container for tools and
mowers was installed, signage and a cross was
installed, a columbarium, trees were trimmed, the
gate updated and a gate to the country club side
installed. Lastly the meditation area was built and
installed by the Prouty Family.
I would like to personally thank all the
volunteers. We had forty to fifty volunteers doing
these wonderful works. I especially would like to
recognize Mike Himmelmann for his efforts,
working for several years alone mowing and
maintaining the property. Thanks as well to Jerry
Hathaway, Ed Dennison Tom “Digger” Carline,
Paul Sampson, Hank Johnson, Rick Randall and
Kent Enzensperger, all who worked this effort
regularly for over 14 years. God Bless each of you
and all our other volunteers.
