Memorial Day No Greater Love. While war is tragic the Second Vatican Council reminds that in this fallen world counties may have. I hope everyone has a great memorial day and I hope we all remember the real reason for this day.
For many Americans, Memorial Day—originally called Decoration Day, from a Civil War tradition of decorating graves of fallen soldiers with wreaths, flowers, and flags—is spent by camping in National Parks, hosting family barbecues, or perhaps lighting a few fireworks left over from the previous. "Today on Memorial Day, we honor Americans who showed no greater love for the American people," said the veep, filling in for President Trump, who was still in Japan meeting with Prime . It's a day to remember those who died while serving in America's armed forces. "There is no greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends." Opinion. There is no greater expression of love than sacrificial love.
MEMORIAL DAY "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." Christians are no strangers to sacrifice.
On this Memorial Day let's remember to pray for all those who died fighting in our armed forces.
We rightly honor those who sacrifice themselves for their friends and their country. Jesus lays down his life for our redemption, martyrs remain faithful to the end, and every believer faces "deaths" in the spiritual life when love requires a re-ordering of preference and priority. While war is tragic the Second Vatican Council reminds that in this fallen world counties may have.
