As we gather around our tables at Thanksgiving, may our hearts be filled with gratitude—for the gift of life, for family and friends, and for the countless blessings we often take for granted. By asking God for the graces of humility and gratitude, we may see that even in challenging times, there is always reason to give thanks.

May we also remember those who are lonely, hungry, or struggling this season. A simple act of kindness, a word of encouragement, or a shared meal can bring light to another's life and reflect God's love in our world.

May this Thanksgiving be a joyful one, whatever our circumstances, and may our hearts overflow with a special thanks to God, the author of our lives and the source of every good gift.
