A Letter from Father... Page 2 November 19, 2017 A Thanksgiving Thought We learn that prayer can be of four kinds: A - Adoration C - Contrition T - Thanksgiving S - Supplication We Ask (Supplication) for many things from God and we receive so much from God. We are reminded that we need also to say thank you. God tells us we all need an attitude of gratitude. In the gospel of the healing of the ten lepers, Jesus asks, Were not 10 lepers healed? Where are the other nine to say thank you? Jesus is saying that we need to realize that we need others in our lives. God is always in our lives and gives us so much. We need to say Thank you to God. There are many people in our lives who help us and motivate us. They cook for us, they do laundry; they protect and guide us. How nice it would be to say: Thank you Mom for a great supper ; or to say Thank you Dad for working so hard to keep a roof over our heads. Saying thank you should become part of our way of living and acting. It is not only on Thanksgiving Day that we remember to Thank God for the huge quantity of food we are about to consume, but we should develop an attitude of gratitude that dictates our way of living. We recognize that we depend on each other for what is needed to carry out our lives. Alone we are not able to have many things needed for life itself. In saying thank you we recognize our need for each other. So let me say Thank You to the so many members of St. Francis de Sales who share their Time, Talent and Treasures to make St. Francis the great parish that it is. We Thank God for His guidance and protective support. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and bless you for your goodness and support. Peace,
