There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:13

Soon after entering the North Tower, Franciscan priest Mychal Judge, FDNY chaplain, started praying out loud: “Jesus, please end this right now! God, please end this!”.

Father Mychal Judge, went from dying person to dying person administering the Last Rites to all. Then, the South Tower collapsed bombarding the lobby of the North Tower with debris. At that moment Father Judge, age 68, was hit in the head and died. He was officially tagged as the first victim of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center.

"Some firefighters look to chaplains as the guy that will be there when “all hell breaks loose”, said William Miles, the Executive Secretary for (NYSAFC).”Everyone needs that spiritual person to turn to in time of need. Sometimes chaplains are the only religion that our members have."
