A Very Foreign Feast

Today, 4th July, our American confreres celebrate their independence from the United Kingdom.  Although we would not naturally be inclined to mark the day, they made sure it was well remembered!


Br. Seelos baked a cake.

On this foggy day, our three Americans try to find the closest place to home...

 ...under the flag!


God bless America.

  2. God bless America and deliver her from the pernicious error of separation of Church and State, which poisons the tree of freedom at its root.

  3. She needs blessing, indeed.

    God save us from ourselves.

  4. As an Irishman who splits his time between Eire and States, I am more than pleased to celebrate the latter's Independence Day, while still praying for the former's! Enjoy the day, lads!

  8. The star-spangled banner has been unfurled over the land sprinkled with the blood of many martyrs. May God bless it still.
