I'm at the Catholic Writers Conference in Dallas Texas. So I have missed most of the Republican National Convention. I arrived at my hotel room last night to hear the last four sentences of Mitt Romney's acceptance speech.
I kicked off my heals and layed down on the bed to see a recap. The local station signed off before the balloons finished falling. So I switched to CNN. They were talking about the speech and in the background I thought I saw a sign that said "Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan". The reporter near the stage said, "They are getting ready to pray, so I'm throwing it back to you." They went to another commentator. I sat up and began to flip channels. Cardinal Dolan was on Fox News. I was privileged to hear him pray the benediction to close the convention. He prayed that all our elected officials, and those seeking leadership, will: respect all human life, from conception to natural death; remember Jesus' example of the preferential treatment of the poor, and preserve all the blessings of liberty, in our nation and as an example to all nations, particularly our first freedom, the freedom of religion.
Lastly, he prayed a thanksgiving to God for the blessings He has already given us in this country, the United States of America. Thank you Cardinal Dolan! You are a great man of God and a Great leader. We ARE one nation under God!
Here is the link to the video, enjoy!
