Independence Day & Freedom

Exactly 250 years ago, on July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted for independence. On that same historic day, General George Washington issued a call to his troops, noting that the "fate of unborn millions" depended on their conduct and reliance on the "supreme being." 

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, explores the deep connection between authentic freedom and Divine Mercy. Freedom is not just the license to do whatever we want; it is the power, rooted in reason and will, to choose the good.
