Memorial Day

Reflection

“Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility.”
–Eleanor Roosevelt

Prayer

Liberating Love,

We pause today to remember all those who made such incredible sacrifices on behalf of their country. We know that, because of their service, we are able to enjoy the blessing of freedom today. And so with hearts full of gratitude, inspire us to pursue our own civic responsibilities with seriousness, commitment, and especially with humility. We pray for our nation, that we might honor those gone before us by insisting we collaborate and cooperate better, for the sake of the common good, and to provide a witness to the watching world of what it looks like to treat freedom responsibly. Amen.
