Today we celebrate our independence from England. How much longer will we have our independence from our own government?

The Fourth of July
Normally, I would wish each of you a HAPPY 4th of JULY.
This year, things are very different.
We have a Supreme Court which allowed a terrible piece of legislation to pass. We have a Justice Dept. running amok. We have a Dept. of Homeland Security (and the Office of the President) deciding which laws to enforce and which ones not to, simply by ignoring some. We are told not to feed the animals in our natural parks because they will become dependent on handouts, and yet, this administration is overjoyed that more people are on Food Stamps and other programs, than ever before. Finally, the Catholic Church is under attack from the President to the "Magisterium of 'Nuns on the Bus'.
Slowly our independence is being stripped from us. Many of us don't even realize it or even care.
Folks, this is a very sad 4th of July.

Happy Fourth of July
As we celebrate the fourth of July, and begin to roll out those "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer" (as Nat King Cole sings), let us each thank God that he has given us the chance to live in the greatest country on the Earth. It may not be perfect but few run away from it, and many do whatever they can to get here.
On a side note, I will be taking a couple of days off for vacation with a couple of million other folks.
Remember to get to Mass and say a couple of prayers for those in our Armed Services, and esp. our Military Chaplains.
