Memorial Day, Heavy Gratitude ❤️
Remembering those who gave all! ✨
In partnership with
Scripture For Today: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
The flag hangs heavy on your porch today.
You think of faces in old photos.
Names carved in cold stone.
Maybe your grandfather's Purple Heart sits in a drawer.
Perhaps you wonder if your kids understand what this day means.
The price of freedom feels both distant and close.
We remember with you.
Today we honor Saint Philip Neri.
He served others with joy even when it cost him comfort and safety.
He knew that love sometimes requires great sacrifice.
Freedom was bought with precious blood.
Their sacrifice still echoes in our lives.
Today's Prayer: Memorial Day Grace
For those who gave their lives away,
We pause and pray this sacred day.
They left their homes, they left their families,
So we could live here safe and free.
Help us remember what they gave,
Each cross that marks a hero's grave.
Bless the families left behind,
Give them comfort, peace of mind.
May their sacrifice never fade,
From grateful hearts and prayers we've made.
Amen.
