Thanksgiving Day 27 November 2008

Click here to download this homily (11 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise.  Only one of the ten persons with leprosy returns to give thanks to Jesus for the healing he had received.  How often does our own familiarity with our abundant blessings cause us to at least appear ungrateful?  How wonderful the rain is to those suffering a drought, yet I hear the rain in the morning and I just want to go back to sleep.  As we gather for the Eucharist (Greek for thanksgiving) let us call to mind our many blessings.

Homework:  Make a list to ten things you are grateful for each night before bed in your journal.

Readings: Sirach 50:22-24; Psalm 113; 1 Corinthians 1:3-9; Luke 17:11-19.
