Homily for Thanksgiving Day 2014

Here is an audio recording of my homily this morning at the 10:30am Mass.  



Homily for Thanksgiving Day 2014
          Do not forget to give thanks to God!  In today’s Gospel we have the healing of the ten lepers and as we heard only one, once recognized he had been healed, returned to give thanks to God.  This happens more often than we think.  There is many times in which we ourselves fail to give thanks to God for all He has done for us.
          Thanksgiving Day provides for us not just an opportunity to gather with family around a dinner table but also gives us a chance to thank the one who makes it possible.  “And now, bless the God of all, who has done wondrous things on earth.”  Today as we gather give thanks to God, because everything that we have has been ultimately bestowed upon us by Him.  Spend some time today thinking about those things in which we are thankful. 

          My brothers and sisters, on behalf of the entire staff of Saint Patrick’s I would like to extend to all of you a blessed and happy thanksgiving.  Moving ahead today may we not forget to give praise to the name of the Lord who makes all things possible!
