As we approach Thanksgiving, our thoughts traditionally turn to the festive table at which friends and family gather, expressing their gratitude to the Lord for the abundance of blessings He has bestowed upon us. Yet, let us ask ourselves if we practice thanksgiving daily to the One who has given us everything?
We can express our gratitude to the Lord through daily prayer and active participation in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Every time we enter the church, we not only express thanks for all His blessings but also have the opportunity to receive the ultimate gift-encounter of the living Christ through His body and blood in Holy Communion. Therefore, let us offer our thanks as often as possible to the One who made the ultimate sacrifice, granting us the path to salvation and eternal life.
Reflecting on this year. I feel grateful to Our Lord for each of you, for the abundance of love and joy with which He has generously blessed us and I encourage you to share these blessings with those who need them.
Wishing everyone peace in their hearts and a truly blessed Thanksgiving!
+ Benedict
