...and that you may love the LORD your God,
listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him.
For the LORD is your life... Deut 30:20
"Whenever I go to the chapel,
I put myself in the presence of our good Lord,
and I say to Him, Lord, I am here.
Tell me what you would have me to do’ ...
... I tell God everything that is in my heart.
I tell Him about my pains and my joys,
and then I listen.
If you listen, God will also speak to you, for with
the good Lord, you have to both speak and listen.
God always speaks to you when you
approach Him plainly and simply."

Feast Day - November 28
The Listening Woman - Godfried Shalcken
In her second apparition, on November 27, 1830, Our Lady revealed her desire for the Miraculous Medal. Over the course of the apparitions, which always occurred near the Blessed Sacrament, Our Mother gave St Catherine this message, as if giving a remedy, for the world: “Come to the foot of the altar. Here graces will be showered on all, great and little, who ask for them. Graces will especially be showered upon those who ask for them.”

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
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
