HAPPY 246th BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
I hope for my country a ’renewal of the spirit of cooperation’ in which we ’resolve to support one another’ in our difficulties and responsibilities.“To imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place. That is something which you, as a people, reject....The challenges facing us today call for a renewal of that spirit of cooperation, which has accomplished so much good throughout the history of the United States. The complexity, the gravity and the urgency of these challenges demand that we pool our resources and talents, and resolve to support one another" (Pope Francis, to the U.S. Congress, Sept. 14, 2015).
