Having just returned from NYC, I offer these words fromCardinal
Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York:
Standing in New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty is
one of our most beloved landmarks, both as New Yorkers and
as
Americans. So many of our ancestors fondly recalled seeing
Lady
Liberty, their first vision of a new homeland. Many of them
told
the story of seeing her for the first time, and not a few of
them hadto pause in retelling it because of a lump in their throat
or a tear
in their eye.That atmosphere of liberty is so much a part of
the
American experience and heritage. Of course, most of us did
not
have to travel far and suffer hardship to glimpse the torch of
the
Statue, and to embrace her promise of freedom. Most
newcomers
today do not come by ship, and so never set eyes upon her.
Even those of us who were born in America cherish the Statue
of
Liberty, and, even more importantly, what it stands for. Who
indeed can fail to be moved by the line from Emma Lazarus
famous poem: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled
masses yearning to breathe free.So it would be easy for us to
take the Statue of Liberty for
granted, as just another landmark for tourists to visit. And
it
would be all too easy to forget how precious and fragile is
that breath of freedom that our forerunners yearned for so
ardently. This desire for freedom was written into the human
heart
by God, and exalted in Gods word in the Bible. It is expressed
so
powerfully in the founding documents of our nation, the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It is the
ideal
to which all our national institutions aspire, and which they
are
bound to protect and respect. It is for freedom that so many of
our
brothers and sisters have been willing to sacrifice their lives
to
defend.My brother bishops and I are encouraging people to
offer
prayers to God, the source of our freedom, that we may fully
enjoy
the liberty that was sought by those who came to our shores.
Weare also urging practical action to defend our freedom.
We must never forget the power of the American promise,
which was passed on to us by our ancestors, and which we hold
in
trust for generations to come. And, like Lady Liberty, may
we
always be proud to lift high the torch of freedom and hope to
those
who yearn for it today.

What is Freedom?
Freedom is the God-given power to be able to act ones own
accord; a person who is free no longer acts under tinfluence of
someone else. God created us as free men and womwith free wills so
that we might decide wholeheartedly in favor good, in fact for the
greatest good. An individual can choose evbut it does not make him
happy, but rather deprives the personwhat is truly good. St.
Augustine wrote in the 5th century, Tgood man is free, even if he
is a slave. The evil man is a slaveven if he is a king.
