From the Mayflower Compact, which begins In the name of God, Amen, to our Declaration of Independence, we hear loud echoes of our faith in God. It finds expression in our deep-seated conviction that we have unalienable rights from Nature and Nature s God. To speak out against racial discrimination, social injustice or threats to the dignity of life is not to force values upon society, but rather to call our society to its own, long-accepted, moral principles and commitment to defend basic human rights, which is the function of law. Most Rev. Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, in homily at Red Mass, October 1, 2006 REMINDER: If you re unable to come forward and wish to receive communion, Please notify a minister of hospitality before Mass.
