Dear Friend,
As we gather with family and close friends tomorrow, probably feasting on roast turkey, with stuffing, cranberries, and pumpkin pie, grateful to God for the many blessings we have received, why not thank our Creator in an intimate way?
Holidays, originally holy days, are meant for worshipful celebration. So many people choose to ignore the religious meanings behind holidays like this one, and end up celebrating only one part—the feast. Instead, we should worship and celebrate.
Many of you know that the Greek word for thanksgiving is eucharist.
To those who are terminally-ill and dying, a priest comes to their bedside and administers Holy Viaticum, often referred to as “food for the journey” – the eucharist.
Thanksgiving is a reminder of God’s bountiful gifts to us, especially that of the Holy Eucharist, so we need to give thanks to Our Lord and Our Lady for their graces!
Part of the name of this organization is Catholic Action. Let us step forward and take action. Plan to attend Holy Mass on Thanksgiving. If that is not possible, visit Jesus in an adoration chapel or in a church where He is dwelling in tabernacles around the world. Two years ago, Catholic churches were closed. We could only view the Holy Mass online. Let us find the time to receive our spiritual food at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, then enjoy our festive meal. Jesus is always waiting to fill our souls with abundant graces everytime we receive the Sacred Host.

May Jesus, the Eternal High Priest of the Eucharistic Sacrifice and Our Lady of the Eucharist bestow many graces upon you and your family. Wishing you and your family a most blessed Thanksgiving.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
