Daily Prayer for America 250
By Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth,
I place today my nation, the United States of America,
into Your Heart pierced for love of us.
On the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,
I acknowledge that true liberty is Your gift,
and that our lasting homeland is the eternal Kingdom of God.
Under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas,
and through the intercession of her Immaculate Heart,
bless my homeland anew,
purify her from sin,
and guide her leaders in truth, justice, and peace,
so that she may safeguard all human life,
respect the integrity of marriage and the family,
and honor the practice of religion.
Reign in my home and in my nation.
Draw every heart into communion with You,
that Your truth, love, justice, mercy, and peace may triumph
in America and throughout the world.
Amen.

The winter activity is, of course, fun. If I could do this entire show about the men's U.S. hockey team. And of course, our ladies, do we give him a shout out. I would love to see streaming numbers on Miracle, the movie last night because as soon as I put the kids down, I said, you know, darling, I'm about to show you a movie and is in my changer, your sports fandom. But actually, Brian Birch now, Ambassador the Vatican, used to cut clips. I told her that beforehand. I was like, Brian used to show his clips of Miracly Love the movie. |
| 0:54.0 | And so during when we were watching, she was like, did Brian cut this up for you? Like, yeah, Brian cut that one up for us. The great moment speech. So awesome. So anyway, we have a great show. One, we promised we're going to deliver. We're going to do tariff talk. And now we have an update because I saw Trump was like, |

| 1:27.4 | That's all they got. And yet, |

| 1:36.5 | World Minnesota. Yeah. 1960, 1980, and now, 26. This town, that is impressive. |
