Thanksgiving
The holiday of Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States with family gatherings and traditional foods. The Church also has a special liturgy for this day. The Entrance Antiphon sets the tone for our religious observance, "Sing and play music in your hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 5:19-20). Eucharist means Thanksgiving and we should be especially grateful for this most sublime gift. We hope you will enjoy some of our recipes and suggestions for this day. Let's try to celebrate as Christians remembering to be temperate as we carve the turkey and eat the pies.
The following suggested petitions would make a nice addition to our meal prayers:
That the Church throughout the world will more vigorously thank the Lord for His kindness towards His children. Lord hear our prayer.That the government of our beloved country will never forget to praise and thank the Almighty who is the generous Giver of each gift. Lord hear our prayer.
That those who suffer may recall that God still loves them and wants to lead them to unending peace in the next world. Lord hear our prayer.
That all Americans on Thanksgiving Day will be blessed with a fresh awareness of the loving Most Blessed Trinity from whom all good things come. Lord hear our prayer.
That those Americans who have no faith in God may be touched by grace this day and seek the Creator of the universe. Lord hear our prayer.
That the faithful departed will soon gather around God's altar in paradise where they will joyfully thank Him for ever. Lord hear our prayer.
Things to Do:
My family, my country, my health, my husband and I having a job, a healthy son that brings us both a lot of joy, and a loving God in Heaven that I cannot even begin to pay back for all of goodness and mercy to me and mine.
Good health and peace of mind are two of God’s greatest blessings.
All the Grace I receive.
My family and FRiends.
My family, husband’s job, God’s continued grace and a healthy pregnancy. I’d be even more thankful if the little guy would just come out already!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I am thankful for my family, Free Republic and living in the United States of America. Although I am actually stationed in Italy at the moment. :) I guess that is why I appreciate the United States even more after visiting so many countries in the World...we are clearly the best of the best.
