Prayer of Thanksgiving for Freedom

Freedom is enshrined in our US Constitution. The First

Amendment of our constitution protects our freedom of

speech. However, our speech may not infringe upon

another's freedom. Freedom does have its limits. And we

must protect everyone's freedoms, not just ours. On this

4th of July, let us remember from whom all our freedoms

originate, our good and gracious God.

Let us pray...

God, giver of all good gifts,

Help us to be thankful for rest and food,

and remember that, in all we do or say,

you are with us, here this day.

We are thankful for all you do

and for everything you have given us.

But above all we are thankful for our freedoms

and the ability to protect others' freedom.

We are free because of you.

We ask for your continued blessing

on all your creation.

Through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Celebrating Our Freedom

Heavenly Father, you have given us the gifts of life and liberty

and entrust to your people the duty to guard these gifts wherever they are threatened.

Help us to protect the freedom of all to follow the Gospel of your Son, Jesus Christ,

and to bring his light and truth to the ends of the earth.

Guide all who play a role in enacting legislation to uphold the freedom of conscience of all citizens.

Send us your Spirit to inspire in us the wisdom and courage needed

to witness to the truth and to stand up for all whose religious liberty is endangered.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our country, pray for us.
