We all have an image of 9/11 engraved into our brains. For some it is the plane striking the WTC. For others it is the crossbeams. Still others point to the firemen raising the flag, people in the streets, or workers plummeting from the upper floors.

For me it is this one, of Fr. Mychal Judge -- who gave his life ministering to the firefighters, cops, and others who found themselves facing that day of Hell on Earth.

Greater love hath no man than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13

On September 11, 2001, the world learned a lesson about what it means to be a martyr in Islam. Fr. Mychal Judge showed the world what constitutes Christian martyrdom. I believe that the stark contrast speaks volumes about the two faiths.
