That the secular city is filled with faith, that the greatest of its wonders is ordinary and human-sized, just big enough to be borne in the heart. . . .
The ordinary saints of 9/11 reveal that religion, like love, belongs to the whole personality, turning us toward rather than away from other people in searching for God. Religion enters us gently through our imaginations rather than tensely by the way of the will.
— Eugene Kennedy, 9-11: Meditations at the Center of the World
