Amen. Amen. I can only hope that a fraction of what was promised today comes to pass. It will not happen by force of arms or by the weight of American power and control. It will happen through peace, love, and charity. May we all live to see the day when that is the approach of the United States to the world. May we live to see the day when that is the approach of the Church to the world.
Today is truly a great day to be an American...even if the Dow is going to fall a few hundred points today.

I agree with you...But...where does that peace, love, and charity come from? from the government? from civil law? or from the Gospel? The Gospel, as you know my brilliant friend, is the ONLY THING that can change the heart and produce such beautiful fruits as peace, love, and charity.
I think I would even go further and say it is the grace of God alone that engenders peace, love, and charity. The gospel is the news of that grace offered to us on account of Jesus Christ and received through the power of the Holy Spirit by faith alone.
But to the essential point, I concede. It is nothing but the gospel that offers peace, love, or charity.
