ST. LEO THE GREAT CHURCH FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA www.stleofairfax.com Dear Friends, I share some of Pope Francis’ words from his visit to the United States last year while in Philadelphia. “One of the highlights of my visit is to stand here, before Independence Hall, the birthplace of the United States of America. It was here that the freedoms which define this country were first proclaimed. The Declaraon of Independence stated that all men and women are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that governments exist to protect and defend those rights. Those ringing words connue to inspire us today, even as they have inspired peoples throughout the world to fight for the freedom to live in accordance with their dignity.” “History also shows that these or any truths must constantly be reaffirmed, reappropriated and defended. The history of this naon is also the tale of a constant effort, lasng to our own day, to embody those lo8y principles in social and polical life. We remember the great struggles which led to the abolion of slavery, the extension of vong rights, the growth of the labor movement, and the gradual effort to eliminate every kind of racism and prejudice directed at further waves of new Americans. This shows that, when a country is determined to remain true to its principles, those founding principles based on respect for human dignity, it is strengthened and renewed. When a country is mindful of its roots, it keeps growing, it is renewed and it connues to embrace newcomers, new individuals and new peoples….” “Religious freedom certainly means the right to worship God, individually and in community, as our consciences dictate. But religious liberty, by its nature, transcends places of worship and the June 5, 2016 private sphere of individuals and families. Because religion itself, the religious dimension, is not a subculture; it is part of the culture of every people and every naon….” “Our religious tradions remind us that, as human beings, we are called to acknowledge an Other, who reveals our relaonal identy in the face of every effort to impose “a uniformity to which the egosm of the powerful, the conformism of the weak, or the ideology of the utopian would seek to impose on us” (M. de Certeau).” “In a world where various forms of modern tyranny seek to suppress religious freedom, or, as I said earlier, to try to reduce it to a subculture without right to a voice in the public square, or to use religion as a pretext for hatred and brutality, it is imperave that the followers of the various religious tradions join their voices in calling for peace, tolerance and respect for the dignity and the rights of others.” In Christ, Rev. David A. Whitestone The Extraordinary Form Traditional Latin Low Mass according to the 1962 Missal of Pope St. John XXIII will be celebrated at Saint Leo on Thursdays, June 9, 16 and 23 at 7:00 pm.
