Father Mychal Judge was just one of several thousand casualties of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But his memory lives on through prayer.
One of Judge’s prayers has been used to honor him and other Sept. 11 victims on social media and by members of the NYPD today. You can read the prayer in a tweet below:
Judge was a devout Catholic priest, who worked as the chaplain of the New York Police Department, according to New York magazine. His peers said he was very charismatic and had a talent for bringing people together, New York magazine reported.
"I just knew what a great guy he was and how he always gave people the time of day,” Joe Hartnett, an electrician and New Jersey father, told New York magazine. “He was everybody's priest."
His prayer seems to work for everybody, too.
