The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Heavenly Father, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Sergeant Scott Johnston, of the New York City, New York Police Department, was taken from us on Thursday, December 19, 2019. He died as a result of cancer that he developed following his assignment to the search and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site following the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the Cross. We ask this through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by way of the Son. Amen.
