One died for our Freedom
One died to set us Free
One died on the Battlefield
The other One hanging on a Tree
One of the took a bullet
The other One a piercing sword
But both of them gave their lives
And so the Story is told
--Robin Bartholomew
Immediately after rising and throughout the day, make the Sign of the Cross and renew your faith in God: to be strengthened by the power of the Father, to be enlightened by the wisdom of the Son, and to be sanctified by the love of the Holy Spirit. And as you bless yourselves, you may say: Of myself I can do nothing; with God I can do everything; I want to do everything for the love of God.
--St. Vincent Pallotti
On Memorial Day, we pray for all those
who have died in the cause of freedom,
that they may be brought safely to
God's Kingdom of justice and peace.
