The wealth of one...

 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has 

eternal life.  I am the bread of life. - Jn 6:47-48

"Sacrifice all earthly goods

rather than a single Communion."

St Mary Magdelen of Pazzi

Blessed Thanksgiving Day!

I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart... Psalm 138:1a

"Remember the past with gratitude. 

Live the present with enthusiasm. 

Look forward to the future with confidence."
St John Paul II

Gratitude ... goes beyond the "mine" and "thine" and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy. - Fr Henri J. M. Nouwen

As Catholics, our Eucharistic life 

(Eucharistia means thanksgiving) 

is literally one of Thanks-living!

  Consider a gift of gratitude to our Lord through a

daily HOLY HOUR and/or HOLY MASS

during the upcoming season of ADVENT!

"God has two dwelling places:

One in heaven and the other

in a grateful heart."  - Izaak Walton
