Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
On this Thanksgiving Day, I am grateful to God for your presence in my life. It’s very important to be grateful and give thanks to the Lord, not only during good times, but during the hardest of times as well. When we are grateful in all circumstances, then our hearts are open to God for His blessings and we receive more than expected. When we complain, however, we close our hearts before God and lose all graces, and our lives become empty and unhappy.
We have a challenge in our St. Luke Mission to establish a parish and build a church. This challenge is a great opportunity to give thanks to the Lord. It is only through Him that we will receive the blessings needed to accomplish our tasks in our Church. Everyone in our community has their individual tasks that have to be accomplished. It is necessary, therefore, to keep our hearts open to God and respond to what He is calling us to do for our Church. Only with grateful hearts and unity can God help us. God believes in us and He knows that soon He is going to have his own Home, not only in our hearts, but in a beautiful St. Luke Church in Cody as well.
May God bless all of you and grant you many blessed years!
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
In Christ with gratitude
Fr. Roman Bobesiuk
