Prayer

God of freedom,

On this Independence Day, we give thanks for the gift of liberty and the many sacrifices made to secure it. Help us to use our freedom wisely—seeking justice, promoting peace, and caring for one another, especially those who are poor, dying and underserved. May we always remember that true freedom is rooted in love and responsibility. Bless all nations and guide us in your ways. Amen.
