+ Our responsorial refrain
cries out today: Blessed are they who are called to the
wedding feast of the Lamb. On this Thanksgiving Day, 2016, we are called to reflect
on the life of blessing that we do enjoy – being the recipient of God’s
manifold gifts and graces.
Absolutely
everything we are and have come from Him, are sustained by Him, and are
directed to Him.
This is the priority that we must keep: we are all called to the Wedding
Feast of the Lamb in the new heaven. Everything we think, say and do each day,
must someway, somehow directed to that end.
Our forefathers were grounded in faith, and it was the steering factor,
the great anchor for all they accomplished and planned for themselves and for
future generations. Without God, without the aid of his Blessed Mother Mary,
who is the Patroness of these United States – we are doomed to failure and devastation;
but with them we set a course for true prosperity and greatness: here and
hereafter.
And so, we are most grateful today for our FAITH, for the HOPE engendered by it, and by selfless acts
of human helpfulness and LOVE – especially to the most wayward and
forgotten, poor and lonely – which demonstrate it.
When the days of tribulation arrive and the signs begin to happen – let us
stand erect with joyful, grateful hearts, raise our eyes to the Cross of Christ
manifest in the skies and welcome the New Day which is full of promise, peace
and prosperity beyond our wildest imaginings.
Our redemption
is close at hand, and we are glad!
