Monthly Reflection

"By a statement of 1,323 words, the United States of America was born. This 'unanimous

Declaration of the thirteen united states of America' was rooted in 'self-evident truths,' namelythat 'all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable

Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness....' God wishes us to

participate in divine wisdom and truth, to cocreate a world of justice and peace. God wills that

those crushed and dejected in spirit be revived and that the greedy and rebellious be healed. If,

for our part, we ask for what we need, God's peace will reside within our hearts...." Fr. James A.

Wallace, "Truly Free," Give Us This Day: Daily Prayer for Today's Catholics, July 2013, p. 51.
