Rev. Walker: God is here, in the midst of this sacred gathering ... different faith ... strangers bound first by loss and pain ... we are gathered in community and through the blur of each other's tears ... we will rise in community.

Rev. Walker: This is how God works. Good morning.

Rev. Walker: God, help us find our way through the darkness. Help us hold each other now.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:03:57 PM
Rev. Walker: Lord, bless this brokenhearted city as she finds her balance, dusts herself off, and tilts her eyes back to the sky.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:04:37 PM
Rev. Walker: Let the people of God together say, "Amen".

There now is a greeting from Metropolitan Methodios of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston and Brookline.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:05:49 PM
Methodios: The Marathon was an event when we celebrated the values of freedom and democracy...it was on that day that evil reared its ugly head again.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:07:14 PM
Methodios: Bow our heads in solemn prayer for the repose of the souls of the three victims, and the countless victims who will bear wounds for the rest of their lives.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:08:13 PM
Methodios: For the doctors and nurses and other caregivers who helped and healed the wounded.

Now there will be a reflection by Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:09:13 PM
Menino stands to talk

by GlobeAndrewRyan via twitter 4/18/2013 3:09:51 PM
Menino: Good morning ... and it is a good morning because we are together.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:10:14 PM
RT @jrebosglobe: Mayor Menino stands at service, eschews wheelchair he has used since leaving hospital early.

by Milton Valencia via twitter 4/18/2013 3:10:28 PM
Just think: Had this tragedy happened a year from now, Menino's familiar voice wouldn't be the one Bostonians are hearing now. #vigil

by Wesley Lowery via twitter 4/18/2013 3:10:51 PM
Menino: Since the clock struck that fateful hour, love has covered this resilient city. I have never loved it more than I do today. (The mayor got choked up when he said those words.)

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:11:06 PM
Menino: We love the fathers and the brothers who took shirts off their backs to stop the bleeding. The mothers and the sisters who cared for the injured.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:11:50 PM
Menino: The neighbors who opened their doors, who said, "What's mine is yours."

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:13:22 PM
Mayor Menino grimaces in pain, pushing himself out of a wheelchair to stand and speak, symbolizing Boston's resilience

by GlobeAndrewRyan via twitter 4/18/2013 3:13:25 PM
Menino: Say prayer after prayer for the victims still recovering in hospitals and homes.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:13:46 PM
Patrick: Thankful for the nurses and doctors and the surgeon who ran the Marathon and then kept on running to his operating room.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:57:45 PM
Patrick: Thankful for Mayor Menino, who started Monday morning frustrated he couldn't be at the finish line this time as he always is, then later that afternoon checked himself out of the hospital so he could help this city, our city, recover.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:58:27 PM
Patrick: I'm thankful for the lives of Krystle, Lingzi, and little Martin.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 3:59:38 PM
Patrick: Darkness cannot drive out darkness, as Dr. King said. Only light can do that.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 4:00:10 PM
Patrick: Just as we are taught at times like this not to lose touch with our spiritual faith; let us not lose touch with our civic faith. Massachusetts invented America.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 4:00:50 PM
Patrick: We're not organized around a common heritage or language. We are organized around civic ideals.

by Teresa Hanafin 4/18/2013 4:01:30 PM
Patrick: We will recover, and repair. We will grieve our losses and we will heal. We will rise and we will endure. We will have accountability without vengeance, vigilance without fear.

The poem President Obama referred to is from E.B. White's "Boston Is Like No Other Place In The World Only More So". The stanza is:

"For Boston's not a capital
And Boston's not a place
Rather I feel that Boston is
The perfect state of grace..."
