politics and religion

Regarding his social programs, President Roosevelt said that “[the] object of all our striving . . . should be to help citizens realize the abundant life Christ said he came to bring.”

The public prayer of Franklin Roosevelt on D-Day in World War II:
“And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment — let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose. With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.”
