Please keep all the September 11th victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers today.

Also, please keep the rescue workers in your thoughts and prayers as well. My dad was a rescue worker at ground zero for more than 5 months, searching for victims and clearing debris. He now suffers from respiratory problems that he did not have before the September 11th attacks. Many, many of the rescue workers are suffering with respiratory illnesses.

A big thanks to the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program at Mt. Sinai Medical Center for continuing to provide medical care for the rescue workers who are ill.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world!

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. God bless him though for participating in the rescue. I know the families of the 9/11 victims must be very greatful.

Thanks to your dad for doing such a difficult job.

How difficult it must have been to be actually there - and to have to sacrifice one's health...
