A Humble Petition

From James Bratt

A Humble Petition
To the One Who Sits Above the Cherubim and Seraphim,
Commander of all Angels and Archangels,
Refuge of the Martyrs, Hope of the Saints;

 

On the Occasion of the 236th Anniversary of
The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America;

 

Beseeching that those who bear the Name of the One
Will not so besmirch It by association with
Mendacity and Cruelty,
Idolatries of Arms and Flags,
Callousness toward the Poor (whom they say such as they will/should/must take care of
Lest Big Government tarnish morals and charity by its o’er-weaning might),
