T S ’ C Dear Brothers and Sisters:
On Thursday, November 25th, we celebrate THANKSGIVING. It is good for us to stop and realize how even in difficult mes there are blessings. They might not be the type we want, but they are there. It is just a ma er of looking for them.
For instance, when the family budget precludes ou ngs to restaurants and movies and spor ng events, perhaps there is a hidden blessing when the family spends an en re evening at home together laughing and talking. Appreciate the blessing of being together.
Reminding ourselves to be thankful is always easy. Here are some ps to help keep gra tude alive in our hearts and central to our spirituality.
Write down the blessings in your life. Name what you are thankful for. Many families shout out loud some specific blessings they are thankful for during grace before meal me.
Keep things in perspec ve. Do we see outside ourselves? Millions of people, most of them children, lack the basic necessi es of life - food, shelter and educa on. So we cannot afford as Chris ans to live our lives for ourselves, but rather with a view as to what we have been given to share with others. There is a whole world out there beyond us with a whole lot of people in need of our love and care.
Say the words, “Thank you” and truly mean it. We Catholics have such a beau ful response at the conclusion of the readings at Mass - Thanks be to God. In our hec c lives, some mes, days, weeks or even months can go by without telling those who ma er most what a blessing they are to us. Let those you care about know how much you appreciate them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Rev. Fr. Thomas V. Doyle Pastor

C K The selec on from the book of Daniel presented in today’s first reading was part of an a empt to weave a vision of ul mate success for the Jews under persecu on. Exactly whom the author had in mind when he refers to “one like a Son of Man” is hotly disputed by scholars today. The fact is, we simply do not know if the author meant anyone in par cular or if this is a collec ve, figura ve image of Israel’s triumph. What we do know is that the early Chris an community seized upon this passage and recognized it as a messianic prophecy, a foretelling of the ul mate triumph of Jesus as the Christ of God. The Lec onary’s juxtaposi on of this text with today’s Gospel narra ve of Jesus before Pilate is a wonderful example of how the liturgy “layers” passages with new meaning by inser ng them in a par cular context. The celebra on of Christ the King allows us to hear these passages with a new depth of meaning in light of our contemporary understanding of how, in Jesus and his resurrec on and ascension, we have seen the fulfillment of Daniel’s vision of ultimate deliverance. The veiled admission of Jesus before Pilate that he did indeed have a kingdom “not here” takes on new meaning against the cosmic vision of Daniel, who allows us to glimpse the “Ancient One” on his heavenly throne.

A T P O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; when I have work, help me to remember the jobless; when I have a warm house, help me to remember the home-less; when I am without pain help me to remember those who are suffer. And remembering help me to destroy my complacency and bes r my compassion. Make me concerned enough to help, by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted. Amen.
A T T G Blessed are you, Lord God of crea on. Through your goodness we enjoy the fruits of the earth and share the loving gi s of family and friends. We ask your blessing on our guests, our table and our home. We offer thanks for the love with which this fes ve meal was prepared, and the love and joy which brings us together to partake of it. In gra tude for your con nued care over us, make us mindful of the needs of others, that we may show our thanks in the manner of our living. May our hearts be filled with praise as we pray in your holy name. Amen.
