At Sunday Mass at Christ the King Church in Ludlow, MA I saw an example of what the Founders of our country intended. The confluence of God and country. In honoring Memorial Weekend the Mass was dedicated to those who fought for, and served our country, and for those that died in doing so. As I looked at the faces of the uniformed members of the American Veterans one could only imagine what they had experienced in World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam, and the Gulf Wars. All true heroes. The altar was decorated with a patriotic wreath, and all the flowers dedicated to the statues of the Saints were adorned with red, white, and blue ribbons. The American flag was proudly displayed. The Star Spangled Banner was sung, as well as God Bless America.
There are those who attempt to distort the intentions of our Founders with respect to the importance of God and religion in the formation of our country. It was not the Founder's intent to allow religion to rule our country, but is WAS their intention to always recognize the importance of God as being not only foundational to our country, but essential. The result has been the greatest country in the history of the world.
Yet today, the American people watch in horror as our country is being destroyed from within right before us. Our Constitution, our great representative democracy, our freedoms, our sovereignty, our economy, and our very country are not only being severely threatened, but dismantled as we look on.
The past Memorial Weekend should be a reminder to us all that we should not just sit back and allow this to happen to our great country.
May God Bless America.
