A Prayer For The 4th of July

God our Father, 

 Giver of life, 
we entrust the United States of America to Your loving 
care. 

 You are the rock on which this nation was founded. 
You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to 
life, 
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

 Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your 
people.

 Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation´s 
leaders. 
Open their minds to the great worth of human life 
and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in 
seeking 
and doing Your will. 

 Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, 
Patroness of our land,
grant us the courage to reject the "culture of death." 
Lead us into a new millennium of life. 
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

 Amen.

When you hear him, or sense his prompting or gentle nudge, act on it. Don’t hesitate, do what he wants you to do. If you do this consistently, the Spirit will become your intimate friend and he will make something beautiful out of your life.       Pope Joh...
