Prayer
As we commemorate again this month the courageous Declaration of Independence from which we have benefited, we acknowledge that real freedom is not a political reality separated from divine providence, but a fundamental spiritual gift to us. We are grateful for the freedom to assemble without fear, to pursue honorable vocations without hindrances and to be involved in whatever we choose for out families and ourselves. Bless, we pray, the gifts of food and fellowship today. Amen.
