Wisdom from Venerable Fulton Sheen

Let America love its stars and stripes! But let it also realize that America will conquer by other stars and other stripes than those on our flag, namely, by the stars and stripes of Christ, by Whose stars we are illumined and by Whose stripes we are healed. We pray, too, that His Mother, who stood at the foot of the Cross, may intercede to her Divine Son, that our world may receive Him before it lies in ruins. ‘If God is with us, who can be against us?’
