Happy Independence Day....let us pray at Mass for all those in joy and in sorrow today. That we will continue to seek God, to know God and to live as God would have us live. Let us pray for this country to once again put God first and to give the weakest, smallest, most vulnerable among us, the unborn babies, LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But let it not stop there, the pursuit of happiness is truly happy only in 'doing the will of God.' So let us stop the murder of innocents and pray for peace in our country and our world. Our flag still waves like a beacon in the sky. His Church still shines like a beacon to all. Thank you Lord for our freedom and our country, may we not take our freedom and all our blessings and your Church and sacraments for granted.

Oh Queen of Peace, Blessed Mother, pray for us.

Amen. God bless America and God bless all of you and your loved ones on this our nations birthday.

Rich and Susie
