Though we celebrate, we have to fight to keep our freedom! Like the Jewish nation, we are constantly under attack! Our government, no longer "under God" wants more and more control. They want fewer faithful followers of Christ who stand opposed to moral relativism
Jesus did not promise us an easy life, but He gave us many tools to carry on. Like Paul with the thorn in his flesh (2 Cor 12:7) who understood that when we recognize our weaknesses – be they sinful habits, feelings of powerlessness, or coasting in our life of faith – and turn to God, THAT is when Christ can move us to great faith and great works.
The Our Father alone can be explored for an entire lifetime! Use it well, teach it to your children. But teach beyond the recitation; teach the rubric until it becomes your habit and theirs!
