Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 20 - DAILY PRAYER (LONELINESS) - JUNE 13, 2011

June 13



Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
--Mother Teresa of Calcutta quotes (Albanian born Indian Missionary and Founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity. Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979. 1910-1997)
Gracious Father, 
Please hear the cry of those who are lonely and empty in America...
For all those who are lonely, and filled with a great emptiness...may You be gracious to them (Psalm 25:16). 
For those who are orphaned, may You take them in (Psalm 27:10).
For those who are widowed, may You heal them and bind up their wounds (Psalm 147:3).
For those who have lost hope, show them Your plans to prosper them and give them hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
For those lost in the emptiness of addiction, may You be their constant companion (Isaiah 41:10).
For those who are lonely due to confinement in prisons and jails, may they receive your greatest gift of love (John 3:16).
Come to all those who anguish in loneliness, and fill their emptiness with the love that only You can provide.
In Jesus' name.  
Amen!
