JESUS, ETERNAL WISDOM,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

In the wake of Thanksgiving, our national holiday, we continue to give thanks and be deeply grateful to Our God from whom all blessings flow. No matter if we are tired, energized, or not quite sure yet, we glorify the Name of the Lord in word and deed. At the same time, we know that Thanksgivings come and go. However, as Jesus tells us in today's Gospel, Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Lk 21:29-33). Hold firm and take heart; hope in the Lord. 

The cup of amity is inexhaustible. Drink deep from it, and be glad.
(Christopher R. Altieri, "Thanksgiving back in the States", in The Catholic World Report, November 25, 2021)

SAINT LEONARD OF PORTO MAURIZIO,
SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.

Today's photo: Welcome to Bear Branch, Ohio County, Indiana. A brother and his wife were there for Thanksgiving. It is nice to see the beauty in all parts of our beloved country, especially here east of the Mississippi, in my home state.
