Honoring the Memory While Embracing the Present

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As we remember the bravery and loss experienced that day, it's essential to acknowledge how it reshaped our lives and perspectives. Today, The Patrick Madrid Show reflects on the enduring impact of 9/11 through heartfelt personal accounts and solemn remembrances.

Here are three key takeaways from this deeply moving episode:

• Resilience in the Face of Fear: Multiple callers spoke about the immediate fear that followed the attacks, yet highlighted the strength they found in their faith, family, and community.

• The Value of Remembrance: Guests emphasized that remembering 9/11 isn’t about lingering in sadness but honoring the victims and ensuring such events are never forgotten—paralleling how other historical tragedies are commemorated to educate and unite us.

• Embracing the Present: Reflective stories shared by callers revealed a newfound appreciation for daily life and family. Many adopted practices of regularly expressing love and gratitude, understanding the fragility and preciousness of each moment.

Join us in remembering and reflecting.
