Freedom


“Freedom is exercised in relationships between human beings. Every human person, created in the image of God, has the natural right to be recognized as a free and responsible being. All owe to each other this duty of respect. The right to the exercise of freedom, especially in moral and religious matters, is an inalienable requirement of the dignity of the human person. This right must be recognized and protected by civil authority within the limits of the common good and public order.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1738)
 In 2013, we find our society drowning in a quagmire of lies, deceit, immorality and destruction.  Satan targets us from all angles: our political beliefs, our daily lives and most importantly our faith.  We must never forget we are children of God.  We were created to do good, to love our neighbor (who lives next to us and who lives across the world), to be responsible citizens of earth.
We must never forget that.  Thank you to all of our veterans who signed on the dotted line to protect our freedoms in America.  For it is under the Flag that they proudly serve.  “I pledge allegiance, to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
