Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 25 Aug 2020
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan offered an invocation on the opening evening of the Republican National Convention, underscoring the importance of prayer at this moment in the nation’s history.
Over and over during his invocation, Cardinal Dolan repeated the refrain “pray we must,†insisting that gratitude and neediness impel Americans to turn to God to thank Him for his abundant blessings and to invoke Him for the many intentions that require divine assistance.
“Let us pray. And pray we must, as grateful citizens of a country we boldly claim to be one nation under God,†the cardinal said. “Pray we must, praising the Lord for a country where freedom of religion is so cherished.â€
Both Republicans and Democrats begin their conventions “heads bowed in prayer,†Dolan observed, a visible image of one nation, under God.
The cardinal called down God’s blessings and protection on those suffering from COVID and on “our troubled cities and the police who guard them.â€
He went on to pray for “our men and women in uniform†who keep the peace, as well as “the innocent life of the baby in the womb.â€
