On this Memorial Day, we pause to remember the courageous Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their bravery and selflessness secured the freedoms we enjoy today and entrusted future generations with the responsibility to protect them.
As Catholics and patriots, we believe love of country is shown not only through words, but through how we care for one another, defend the dignity of every person, and uphold the values of faith, charity, unity, and patriotism in our communities. May we never take lightly the freedoms protected by those who gave everything for this nation.
Today, may we honor their memory by choosing respect over hatred, service over selfishness, and courage over indifference.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9
