He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of our Declaration of Independence and the establishment of our great Nation, I pray that the Lord our God will continue to rain down upon us, His abundant mercies and rich blessings.
And of course, if we dare ask of Him such privilege, protection, and security, there is no other posture toward the Throne of God, other than the authentic demeanor as instructed through the Prophet Micah.
Our Nation, our leaders, our government, our military, our churches, our communities, our families, and we, as individual, American citizens must
Act Justly.
Love Mercy.
Walk Humbly.
Then and only then, do we walk with God. The message couldn’t be more simple. The requirement couldn’t be more clear. The reasoning couldn’t be more obvious.
Enjoy the celebration of our Nation’s birth and always remember in prayer, that to live in this age, at this time, between these two most-blessed shores, is a gift from the Lord. This gift should never be taken for granted, and must be humbly appreciated every day.
With Grateful Love in Christ,
Fr. Anthony Savas
