(Note: This previously unpublished article was written on September 14, 2001, from the office of Fr. John A. Perricone at St. Agnes Rectory in Manhattan, some two miles away from Ground Zero. Much of the horror of that day has faded. Even more so, its urgent lessons. Much of America seems to have moved on to even greater follies.)
I sit here writing this piece coughing on the fumes of hell. Though I sit some one hundred blocks from ground zero of Manhattan Island, the winds shift and billows of that smoke of death stretch all the way to my room at St. Agnes rectory—and to every one of you, wherever you sit in this beloved nation of ours, now supine before an Islamic monster. For the evil that growls at us now sits on the doorstep of every person in America, and of the world. More importantly, it proves to over-intellectualized Americans that indeed evil exists. It kills. It corrupts. It demands a daily war against it, sometimes even requiring our blood.

What is that song and what are the lyrics?
It’s beautiful but I cannot make out what they are singing.
Only Time
Song by Enya
Lyrics
Who can say where the road goes Where the day flows, only time And who can say if your love grows As your heart chose, only time
Who can say why your heart sighs As your love flies, only time And who can say why your heart cries When your love lies, only time
Who can say when the roads meet That love might be in your heart And who can say when the day sleeps If the night keeps all your heart Night keeps all your heart
Who can say if your love grows As your heart chose, only time And who can say where the road goes Where the day flows, only time
Who knows? Only time Who knows? Only time

Thanks.
No need to apologize for the formatting.
To the loss of those who lost family members and immediate extended. To those who lost so many more beautiful working relations from working in NYC as I did many years ago. People, yes new Yorker's who loved America and Ronald Regan. The Eighties. The 20th. century then. The 21st. now. May God bless all Americans, always. Eternal rest to the victims of September 11, 2001. God Bless America.
Thank you.
