The Fourth of July is rapidly approaching and we wanted to share a few words to reflect on what is at the heart of being American. When we pray the pledge of allegiance, we conclude with the words, "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." There is a lot packed within this short sentence. First, we must do everything in our power to be one. Unity is hard, but it's possible with God. That is to say that when we put our unity in the hands of God, he can make us one. He makes us indivisible. And his blessings bring liberty and justice for all people. For the founding Fathers, unity and obedience to God were non-negotiable. It's the only way this great country of ours will work. To inspire each of us to do the work to stand united and most importantly to put it all in the hands of God, we have three beautiful new blessing bracelets connecting these core truths with our Catholic faith. The Unity Gemstone bracelet comes with a prayer card featuring quotes from Pope Leo XIV (the first American Pope) and the book of Ecclesiastes. In beautiful red, white and blue, Its three woven strands highlight strength in unity while reminding us that Peter is the rock set on Christ through its polished stones around a central cross. The One Nation Under God United in Prayer bracelet weaves three simple strands of red, white and blue through the cross on a backing featuring the United States and a reminder to pray for our country. Lastly, the Protect and Serve in Gratitude Bracelet honors our first responders with proceeds going to help military families. These bracelets are a wearable reminder that there is no freedom without Christ. This 4th of July, we encourage you to order these bracelets for you and your loved ones as a sign of your unity and a constant reminder to invoke God's blessings of liberty and justice for all upon the United States. May God Bless America, The Catholic.Store team |
