Cardinal's Spiritual Message

 

FAITH AND FREEDOM

Hello, this is Cardinal Rigali. We are so blessed in this country to have the freedom to express our religious beliefs -- without fear of persecution. That is not the case in many countries around the world, where people are punished for expressing their religious beliefs.

This Independence Day, I encourage you to pray for those responsible for the freedom that we Americans enjoy -- the men and women who serve in our armed forces. Please also take time to thank God for the blessings He has bestowed on our country and to pray for those who do not share the freedoms that we have.

May God bless you.
