Will you readers join me, please?

Nothing to celebrate but many things for which to pray and mourn.

[ecomcon]

Yes

I’m In.

[mlizzy]

Yes, we are in too, Mark. Our flag has come down, and we will not be attending the fireworks. We *are* having some folks over for a gathering, but they mourn themselves. One of our invited guests [who is not able to attend but will visit another time] is featured in this video. Have you seen it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6PPk2NOQXs

Yes ,Sir. When government sanctions and encourages that which exposes us to the displeasure and vengeance of He who is equal Lord of All( a National Crime that warrants national punishment has been prosecuted.) “It behooves us then to humbly go before the Offended Power (Almighty God- for benefit of those who question who that Power is ) Confessing our National Sins praying for His forgiveness and clemency” To borrow from Lincoln. I see that divisive and destructive Wall of separation sanctioned and encouraged by our government. No greater curse that a nation that put its trust in Man , made flesh its strength, and has turned from God— No punishment more severe that to have God grant that desire -forever.
I see government sanctioning and encouraging abortion —God Hates —hands that shed innocent blood.Every abortion relies upon the denial of life the gift of God.
I see government sanction and encouragement of that behavior that led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah —to the point where Christians are now punished for obeying God.
Yes, Sir.I stand with you tomorrow.We have much to repent of as a Nation so blessed by God.

Absolutely. Our priest is having a 10:00 am Mass.

[Salvation]

Time to pray for our country.

Got 25 people coming over so it is impossible to me.As reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus I have been fasting everyday until 4.Also getting in another rosary.

[Pajamajan]

Agree-Prayer is the best thing we can do for our country.

[Cicero]

I’ve been praying regularly for our country. I’ll try to double down on it.

Uh No!

Its Independence Day not Yom Kippur. The Fourth of July is a celebration its not a day of penance or a day of national service or any other self serving Bu@@shite.

Do yourself a favor and put up the Gadsden Flag, fire up the Barbie and pop a Budweiser then sit down on the deck and talk a little treason.

[LYDIAONTARIO]

You can pray AND enjoy the celebration!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m going to party on Saturday as the Fourth of July is supposed to a celebration. I’ll pray on Sunday. :-)

[verga]

A number of us (Catholics and protestants) have been praying this every night. 1 Litany for liberty
