Friends of the Rosary,

Today, November 27, is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. In 1621, colonists in New England gave thanks to God for his abundant mercies and blessings. This became a tradition, and in 1863, Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed a legal holiday.

It’s worth noting that some historians believe the first Thanksgiving in America was a Catholic Mass held 50 years before the Plymouth settlement. These pilgrims were preceded by Spanish settlers in what became Florida. And that first “Thanksgiving” was Eucharistic.

Anyway, today the Catholic Church celebrates Mass, asking that each person’s gratitude to God may bear fruit in loving service to neighbor.

Today is also the day of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, recalling when the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in 1830 and revealed the images of the medal to her.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
