We sang "God Bless America" at the end of Mass today, having given thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in this beautiful and vast country. We gave thanks for the men and women who founded these United States of America as well as for the millions who gave their lives to preserve the ideals set forth in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Myriads still serve today either in the military or in law enforcement, or as teachers and parents, passing on the legacy to the next generation and keeping enemies of every type at bay. The freedom we enjoy had to be won and the battle goes on to preserve what has turned out to be a great gift, one that can easily be taken for granted. It's only when one goes outside the country that one realizes what we enjoy. As we celebrate our holiday with family and friends, may we offer a prayer of thanks to God and may we resolve to live our freedom as God would have it.
