As the United States of
America approaches the
Fourth of July Independence
Day celebration, we invite
all believers to join us in
saying the following prayer
each day from June 26
through July 4.

Español)
God our Father, your Son
Jesus spoke to us a message
of peace and taught us to
live as brothers and
sisters.
His message took form in the
vision of our
Founding Fathers, as they
fashioned a nation where all
people might live as one.
This message lives on
in our midst as a task for
us today
and a promise
for tomorrow.
We
thank you, Father, for your
blessings in the past,
and for all that, with your
help, we must yet achieve.
Bless our nation and
bless each of us. As we
thank you for our
independence, may we extend
its blessings to our
youngest brothers and
sisters, the children in the
womb.
Hasten the day when our
nation will be a
nation with liberty and
justice, not just for
some, but for all, through
Christ our Lord. Amen.
