This 4th of July I am reminded of my trip to the Basilica of Saint Louis in Missouri where I first read the words by Pope John Paul II.
“America will remain a beacon of freedom for the world
as long as it stands by those moral truths
which are the very heart of its historical experience.
And so America:
If you want peace, work for justice.
If you want justice, defend life.
If you want life, embrace truth – truth revealed by God.”
Pope John Paul II
St. Louis – January 27, 1999
