Holy Father, we celebrate today 250 years of American Independence. The last few years, and every year before these, showed us that Independence ist not granted, it’s earned and maintained. It demands strong willed people to stay focused and impartial. I praise You for the American Miracle and how people all other the world are envious of its prosperity. I pray the current dark clouds dissolve and America leads itself, then the rest of the world into a durable prosperity so we can leave this era of war and unease and enter the galactic age.

AGENDA

Religious Observances

In the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar, July 4 marks the optional memorial of Saint Elizabeth of Portugal (1271–1336), a Franciscan tertiary known for her charitable works, mediation in political conflicts, and devotion to the poor despite her royal status as queen consort of Portugal and later Aragon. Born Infanta Isabel of Aragon, she founded convents, hospitals, and alleviated famine relief efforts, earning canonization in 1625 for her piety and miracles attributed post-mortem, including rain during droughts invoked through her intercession. In the United States, where July 4 coincides with Independence Day—a national holiday—the liturgical observance of her memorial may be superseded, but it remains listed in the General Roman Calendar.

The date also commemorates Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901–1925), an Italian layman beatified in 1990, whose optional feast is observed in certain dioceses and among youth movements for his commitment to social justice, mountaineering, and secret charitable acts aiding Turin’s impoverished despite his affluent background. Frassati joined the Third Order of Saint Dominic and various Catholic action groups, dying at age 24 from polio, with thousands attending his funeral revealing his hidden philanthropy. His cause highlights lay holiness in modern times, though not universally obligatory in the Roman Rite.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, following the Revised Julian or Gregorian calendar, July 4 commemorates several saints, including Andrew of Crete (c. 650–712), Archbishop of Crete and hymnographer renowned for authoring the Great Canon of Repentance recited during Lent, emphasizing themes of sin, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Other figures include the Holy Martyrs Trophimus and Theophilus of Scythia, soldiers executed under Emperor Licinius for their faith around 310 AD, and the repose of saints like Methodius, a Bulgarian archbishop. Churches adhering strictly to the Julian calendar observe these on June 21 instead, shifting major events like the Synaxis of the Holy Royal Martyrs (the Romanov family, executed July 4/17, 1918) to Gregorian July 17. These observances typically involve Divine Liturgy, readings from the Prologue of Ohrid, and veneration focused on asceticism and martyrdom.
