A Marian Route to America Ep. 1 | The Battle of Gettysburg

Did you know that long before the United States declared independence, its lands were being shaped by Catholic missionaries, settlers, and a deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary? In the first episode of our new series, "A Marian Route to America," we stand on the historic grounds of Gettysburg to reflect on Abraham Lincoln's famous address and his declaration that this nation exists "under God." Moving forward as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday, we invite you to explore the forgotten spiritual and providential forces that helped form the country. Join us as we begin a journey tracing the English, Spanish, and French Catholic stories to discover how America grew not just under God, but under Mary's mantle. ⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=YT ✝️ Discover more about Church history on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/tags/church-history?utm_source=YT ⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy! https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=YT Follow Us on Social Media! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheDivineMercy/ 🔵 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DivineMercyOfficial 【ꚠ】TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marianfathers 🟢 Download our AD FREE app Divine Mercy Plus: https://divinemercyplus.org/our-apps
