We remember, three years ago, the towers.
Today have we learned anything? When I look at the readings for the weekend - 24 Sunday of Ordinary Times - there, they present to us a timely response that all of us need to consider if we want to proceed in life on a more peaceful footing: reconciliation.
At the first act of provocation, we are rather quick to react in anger and sometimes resort to some form of force that throws up further hatred and violence. Which is why the action of the current PM of Malaysia goes a long way to bringing about true reconciliation and establishing peace. The smile of relief of Anwar's face as he steps out from his imprisonment, released by PM Abdullah Badawi, can say many things but one of them is certainly got to do with the words 'second chance'.
And so, with this date that brings back many dark memories of pain and senseless loss of lives, we are once again asked to seriously ponder if we really want reconciliation. It is not going to be easy, but we need second chances if we are to make good our calling in today's fallen world to bring about harmony we so greatly need!
