Memorial Day Greetings

I am motivated by the words of John F. Kennedy. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Men and women of the military and their families live a daily example of the essense of this motto. On this Memorial Day I wish to remember those men and women who have fallen in defense of our country. May God grant them eternal rest and may their families be comforted. Thank you to all who have served or are serving in the military. We owe you a debt that cannot be repaid. Furthermore, I wish to recognize and remember in prayer the family members of those who are serving in the armed forces. You daily feel the absence of your loved ones; your sacrifice does not go unnoticed by me. Thank you. Psalm 127 verse 1 says, "Unless the Lord builds the house the laborers build in vain. Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." Whether you are at home or on deployment, God is hovering over to bless and divinely support your work. Without His support all efforts of work, whether keeping a home, managing our communities or protecting our country, would all surely fail. Therefore, I pray for you asking God's blessings to be upon you and His sustaining presence with you wherever you go.

Blessings+
Father Daniel
