Celebrate the Fourth of July with God
at the Holy Mass:

As we celebrate Independence Day, let us turn to Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our Nation with confidence:

Immaculate Mary, most Holy Mother of God, on this Independence Day, we come before you and profess our love and gratitude. We pledge to serve your Divine Son and to work for His kingdom on earth.

O Mary, to you do we flee for protection. Surround our nation with your maternal care. Give to this land, built upon the blood and tears of our faithful forebears, a peaceful and worthy existence in truth, love, justice, and freedom.

O Mary, Patroness of our beloved country, enfold the Holy Father and the Catholic Church within your protective mantle; be our shield in the days ahead. Obtain for our leaders in government, holy zeal, the ability to face the truth, and the courage to correct all abuses. Help to bring an end to the evils of greed, heresy, impurity, apathy materialism, and selfishness that threaten our nation.

Mother of God, hear our prayers gather us all into your Immaculate Heart and unite us forever with Jesus, your Son, who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
