Happy 4th of July!

Otherwise known as Independence Day because it was the day that the Declaration of Independence was officially promulgated. (As others have mentioned, it was actually passed on July 2nd with a 12-0 vote which included all the colonies except New York, who abstained.  Who knew?)

As the Fortnight for Freedom concludes, let us continue to pray for our country that we may not lose the freedom (to choose the good) so cherished by our founding fathers. At Mass this morning, Father reminded us to seek the intercession and protection of the guardian angel of the United States. Let us do so at all times, but especially on this Independence Day as our rights are being threatened once more.

God bless America, the Land of the free! 

Happy Independence Day!
