He died while giving blessings to the hurting souls around No thought for his own danger his love spreading, without bounds. A beloved and bright light in a world oft filled with pain He's gone to comfort others simply put, he could not stay. I heard it said, the reason; that his task was just too much he had to pass on with them so to lend his loving touch. God bless you Father Mike and all the souls now with you without brave hearts as your was There would be no hope, in truth. One story that touched me heavily(as they all did), was the story of this Franciscan Priest, and Fire Department Chaplain, who lost he life while trying to comfort the dying. God bless him, all the rescuers who bravely joined him, and their families. |

Thank you for this Cat.... I too saw a long tribute feature on him,and was deeply touched by the large number of people he quietly touched each day... God has taken one of his angels home... his legacy will live on in the hearts of those whose life he so unselfishly enriched. you have done him proud with this tender tribute. Well I looked to the sky for my anthem |

CatalinaMoon~ Thank you for sharing the story of New York Fire Department Chaplain, the Rev. Mychal Judge, who indeed lost his own life while praying with a fallen firefighter. Respectfully, he had removed his helmet to perform the prayer rites and was hit by falling debris when the tower collapsed. Each story of loss brings a new tear to fall. God bless the families of them all. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

He was needed elsewhere. That's how I look at it. There were thousands of lost souls who needed help to find their way through the clouds of smoke, to clear skies and the loving arms of God. |

He possessed a wonderful quality as did the firefighters, the police officers, and all those that rushed in to help without thinking of the dangerous situation that existed...James |

I can only see that he held the light of home. Summoning all to follow the path. So touched by this tribute. He, and all of those that went with him, will forever remain in my heart. Thank you Sandra. Sincerely, Regina |

Such a touching tribute. This kind of giving brings us all together. I especially liked ...I heard it said, the reason that his task was just too much he had to pass on with them so to lend his loving touch... Thank you. Melton |

Sandra, Even through all the scenes of horror and tragedy, the story of this hero touched us all and gave us pride in our ideals. This is an excellent tribute to the man, but even more, a tribute to the spirit that still flows freely in our country!! The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |
