Thanks, Dan, for a beautiful prayer. As Eric Doyle, OFM (RIP/English Province) used to proclaim each 4th. of July at Bona’s, as Presider: “Happy Boom Boom Day!”

On a day we celebrate Independence, thank you for re-membering the vulnerable, and inviting us to pray and work for the common good. Peace!
