Lay apostles, it's time to stand up and take action to ensure our religious liberties stay intact! I also implore lay apostles from countries other than the U. S. to participate with your prayers and support. Links are provided below for further information on how you can make an impact. My parish, St. Cecilia's, will have Eucharistic Holy Hour from 5pm to 6pm every night during the Fortnight for Freedom. Let's show America what prayer can accomplish!
From the USCCB website:
The fourteen days from June 21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More—to July 4, Independence Day, are dedicated to this “fortnight for freedom”—a great hymn of prayer for our country. Our liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power—St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter a
nd Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action will emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty. Dioceses and parishes around the country have scheduled special events that support a great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious liberty.
I welcome any and all comments as to how you are participating in the Fortnight for Freedom. Remember, this is not only for Catholics, but all faiths who join the fight to keep their religious freedom.
God bless,
Bonnie
