January 18 – “… no one has rights unless he has duties to God, country and neighbor.”
Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Powerful Words to President Jimmy Carter

At the 1979 National Prayer Breakfast, Archbishop Sheen reminded Americans about the balance of freedom and responsibilities — and the need for repentance.
“Mr. President, you are a sinner,” Archbishop Fulton Sheen said as he looked at President Jimmy and first lady Rosalynn Carter at the podium at the National Prayer Breakfast on Jan. 18, 1979.
Archbishop Sheen continued: “I am a sinner.”
Pausing again, he took in the crowd and began his speech: “Mr. President, Mrs. Carter, and fellow sinners, in a speech which the president gave in the Baptist church, Plains, Georgia, he quoted St. Paul to the effect that we are all sinners. So, Mr. President, we include you in this title. I will tell you why I have addressed you that way. But I want to preface it: first of all, by thanking God for our rights and liberties; secondly, by acknowledging to God our duties and responsibilities; and then will come the fact that we are sinners.” … the Creator has endowed man with certain inalienable rights, among which are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Creator has given us those rights; therefore, they are inalienable. … And if we are to keep our rights, we must also keep our God. That is why our Declaration of Independence is fundamentally a declaration of dependence on God.”
He then emphasized, “We constantly hear about rights and liberties. But how about duties? … There is no such thing as a right without a duty. Rights and duties are correlative, like the two sides of a saucer. It is popularly said, for example, today, ‘Well, I’ve got to be me. I have to develop my own identity.’ How do we know our identity? By boundaries, by limits … by my God, my neighbor, my government, my fellow man.”
