Of the many who lost their lives fleeing from the chaos, Father Mychal Judge lost his running towards destruction.
Into the North Tower Lobby he ran, caring for those around him. Moments before being fatally struck by falling debris, he was overheard praying, 'Jesus, please end this right now! God, please end this!'
Chaplain Judge lost his life caring for complete strangers. To honor his sacrifice Father Judge was certified the first fatality of 9/11, being given the fatality code 0001.
Father Judge prayed to the God that ran towards destruction of the cross.
Father Judge prayed to the God who promised to renew the universe.
Revelation 21.4
'He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death, or mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed away.'
