Father Brian Jordan, second from left, blesses, Thursday, Oct.4, 2001, a cross of steel beams found amidst the rubble of the World Trade Center by a laborer two days after the collapse of the twin towers. The cross was from World Trade tower One, and was found in World Trade building Six and moved to its present location Wednesday. Other rescue and construction workers join Jordan for the ceremony.

On Wednesday, workers hoisted the cross atop a 40-foot high foundation, formerly a pedestrian walkway. That's good. If it's mobile, they ought to be able to save it from the wrecking ball.

How appropriate that this be shown on Oct. 4, the feast day of St. Francis. The fire department chaplin was a Fransican priest.

I would hope that this miraculous cross is somehow incorporated in whatever memorial is created.

Yep. When the windows of Heaven are poured out and hit the WTC, it will go from a burial ground to a resurrection reunion hall for the ex-victims. Oh yes, it may sound crazy, but folks, the ALMIGHTY has been holding back until "the fullness of time". Soon, resurrection parties will be more common than funerals. Wait, watch, and pray. And get ready to shout, laugh, and love in a way you never imagined. The "word made flesh" is getting ready to flood the earth.

It's so beautiful! I'm sure it will become part of the new WTC area.
God continues to bless America!

When they finally set up a memorial to the NYPD and NYFD who gave their lives here, I hope this cross is a central (THE central?) part of it.
This photo should be distributed widely throughout the world, so that the minions of "allah" can appreciate the omen . . . and be very afraid, "for the Lord of Hosts is with us."

I wonder if the ACLU has the guts to attack this one!

In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time. All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo, it glows with peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.
