EddieArent:

I went to my local parish which I never attended before because my mom didn’t like the “non-traditional” (i.e. alter girls, women giving communion, holding hands during the Lord’s prayer, etc.) aspects of the Parish 20 years ago and judging from my experiance today, continue to do so. Anyway, America the Beautiful was also used at the end of Mass.

I sometimes help out too giving communion along with the priest as a Eucharist Minister (at least I think that is how you call it there).

I feel cheated out of the chance to meditate on the topics introduced in the readings. When will we hear that Gospel again? Next year? In 3 years? What a shame!

**When you open your Bible and read it. **

Actually, the Star Spangled Banner does mention God…extensively. The Fourth Stanza:

Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand…
Between their loved homes, and the war’s desolation.

Blest with victory and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land,
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just, and this be our motto: In God is our Trust!

And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!

I stand corrected. I can’t imagine getting to verse four. Thanks for the insight. I will now research that some more.

Thy Kingdom Come:
There is a Proper Mass for Independence Day as part of the yearly cycle of Masses. There is also a Proper Mass for Canada Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and other national holidays for various countries in the world with large Catholic populations. The Proper Mass for Independence Day was offered at my parish yesterday, and was also offered this morning (July 5th) at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Birmingham, I heard it on the radio.
