Freedom Under God

This week as we celebrate Independence Day, we do well to come together to praise and thank God for our gift of freedom. The United States of America is founded on a belief in God: without God it cannot stand.

When you pick up the Declaration of Independence, the charter which gave birth to this nation, you read: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-piness. The founding fathers recognized that their rights had come from God, and that without God there would be no human rights. As we read through the Declaration of Independence we find that this great document does not begin with a recognition of God only to forget Him. The conclu-sion is a solid affirmation that there is no liberty or even hope of liberty without God, and the authors state their, “firm reliance on the protection of divine providence.” We can easily recall, too, that the motto of our country is stamped on all our coins: In God We Trust. Another word also appears on our coins and that word is “liberty,” it is no coinci-dence, for without God there is no liberty.

This 4th of July weekend and throughout our entire lives, we stand before God to profess before the whole world our belief that freedom is not the fruit of political adeptness or military power but the gift of God. “God who gave us life gave us liberty.” Indeed it is right that we give thanks and praise to God for this gift of freedom.

Have a happy, enjoyable and safe summer!

Fr. Duff

Congratulations to the following couples who are celebrating 50 years of marriage at the 11:30 Mass today: George & Carol Almasi

ARE YOU REGISTERED? From time to time people come into the Rectory asking for a document, such as a Sponsor Certifi-cate, which states that they are members in good standing of this parish. The only way we can comply with this request is if the individual is indeed, a registered member of the parish who worships here on a regular basis. Please note that although you may be registered with the CCD Office or may have made all your sacraments at St. Marys, this does not automatically mean that you are registered at the Rectory!

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.

In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks

on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
