Sophia and I spent 3 jam-packed, fun-filled days in NYC with the Leo HS choir. One very special day included a visit to the 9/11 Memorial where the choir sang Kýrie by René Clausen.
The One World Trade Center, or the Freedom Tower as it is colloquially known, stands tall above the Memorial.
Sophia and the Leo HS choir prepare to sing.
The choir's emotional rendition gathered a crowd who in turn showed their heartfelt appreciation with well-deserved praise and applause.
René Clausen wrote Kýrie in response to the events of 9/11. Actually, a part of a larger body of work, "Memorial," Kýrie is essentially a plea for peace and mercy.
As we head into Semana Santa or Holy Week as we call it here, may this be our prayer as well.
