“On the morning of September 11th, I woke up as a NYC corporate lawyer. I never made it to the office that day, and never went back.
“I joined my father Pastor Rick Del Rio at Ground Zero on 9/12. He had been the first clergy responder after Father Mychal Judge passed, arriving moments after the second tower collapsed. My prayer on the Pile became: ‘Buried in the rubble are the seeds of revival.’
“Dad’s bravery and sacrifice continue to inspire me today, as he has spent this anniversary week hospitalized with complications from cancer as a result of his time at Ground Zero.
Dad, Thrive Collective, Abounding Grace, your family, and countless New Yorkers carry your mantle of service twenty-five years later. We love and honor you extra this week.”
