(Thanksgiving Day)

Jesus said: “My people, you truly have many things to be thankful for, and especially you should be happy to have Me at Holy Communion in My Real Presence at every daily Mass. Be thankful to also have a priest to offer Holy Mass, the most beautiful prayer that I have given you. You make many petitions in your prayers, but always remember to thank Me for answering your prayers. Be thankful also for your many gifts of life in your family and in all of My gifts to make your living possible. Your deacon even spoke of your problems as gifts, but this is harder to understand. It is your needs and the needs of the poor that can be seen as problems, but you need to reach out to the poor in helping them with food, clothing, and shelter. You can make donations to your local food shelves or other charities that help the poor. When you share your gifts of time and money with others, it is your way of thanking Me for what you have been given. Some even believe in tithing ten per cent of their income to charity and supporting My Church. For all that you do for people out of love, you will have your reward in heaven.”
