Day 3 of our Novena to #OurLadyofMtCarmel. Catholics do not worship Mary, but we recognize her as the first disciple of her Son and as one who was fittingly preserved from sin to be the mother of our Lord, greeted as: "Hail Mary, Full of Grace..." buff.ly/0YoJWoq

A blessed #4thofJuly! As we celebrate #IndependenceDay, let us remember that our truest freedom comes in relationship with God, as He sets us free from the bondage of sin. And let us pray for our nation, giving thanks to God for the blessings of freedom and liberty.
