"You are the salt of the earth, You are the light of the world".  These words were quoted from Jesus at daily Mass this past Tuesday.  They remind us, among other things, that we are called to be active in the world to spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Beginning this Friday, June 21, and going through July 4, we are being urged by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops to participate in the annual "Fortnight for Freedom."  We will start this special time of prayer, study and action THIS FRIDAY, June 21, with a special Mass at 5:00 p.m. in anticipation of the memorial of Saints Thomas Moore and John Fischer, who were two great advocates of religious liberty in their lifetimes.  After Mass we will have potluck supper, then watch the movie "For Greater Glory."  Please join us for this kick-off of the Fortnight for Freedom and log on to the website Fortnight4Freedom.org for prayers and activities for each day of this observance.  We will pray the prayer for religious liberty before all Masses during this special time and the Patriotic Rosary on Independence Day immediately after Mass.
