There is much work to do to get everything ready for family meals and visiting friends on this holiday. This often includes buying a turkey, checking out a new recipe for pies, and finding out who’s allergic to what. This work can be tiring but it is rewarding knowing that the care involved will please many people. Hopefully there’ll be time for each of us around the Thanksgiving celebrations to appreciate the importance of being thankful. On one level, it is important to thank people who care for us, assist us and support us. Speaking words of gratitude to each other and showing it by our actions deepens and strengthens our relationships. On the spiritual level, being grateful and thankful to God is very important. Psalm 92.1 says “it is good to give thanks to the Lord, always and for everything.” St. Vincent Depaul often said” the grateful heart doesn’t want for anything because you cannot be both grateful and unhappy at the same time.” On this Thanksgiving weekend, let us rightly give thanks to God for the blessings He gives us: family, material goods, our Catholic faith and parish, health, our citizenship, the forgiveness of sins and other graces from God. The Eucharist is the greatest prayer of thanksgiving – we give thanks to the Lord for all He has done for us especially His saving death and resurrection. May we never stop giving thanks to God and may we resolve to be even more committed to sharing our blessings with others as good stewards. Fr. Galvon -SUNDAY SOCIAL: PANCAKE BREAKFAST TODAY, after all morning Masses, prepared and served by our Cathedral Council Knights of Columbus.

Father, all of Creation rightly owes you thanks and praise. Your justice, love and mercy abound. We thank you this day for all that you have given us: For the Passion and Death of your Divine Son, we thank you Father, through the Cross, He redeemed the world. For the Church, we thank you Father, it is our beacon for salvation. For the martyrs and saints who give testimony to your Son, we thank you Father, their witness to your Son is our inheritance. For our loved ones and friends who have died and gone before us, we thank you Father, their love abides with us forever. For loving spouses, we thank you Father, together we seek you. For the gift of children, we thank you Father, they are your precious gifts to us and to the world. For the gift of our families, loved ones and good friends, we thank you Father, Through them we see the reflection of your Son. For the bounty we are about to eat, we thank you through Christ Our Lord. Amen. -W eekly Programs for Adults 50+ at Rosary Hall: •Bible Sharing every Tuesday, 10:00 to 11:30am . • NEW!

One of them is in Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians found in today’s second reading— “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens m e” (4:13). Most people define them selves either by their problem s or their possibilities. Fearful people wake up each m orning ensnared by their problem s. Christian stewards wake up reflecting on their possibilities with confidence and hope. Som e stewardship reflection questions for the week: W hat challenges do you back away from because you doubt that you are up to them ? W hat would you attem pt tom orrow if you were sure God would help you? -Please remember in your prayers: Verna J.

Diaz Conviden al banquete de bodas a todos lo que encuentren Estam os en presencia de dos parábolas ligadas ente sí: la prim era es la de los invitados a la com ida de la fiesta de bodas; la segunda inicia con el sim bolism o del " vestido " para agregarse a la precedente com o epílogo. el tem a fundam ental de la prim era narración es sim ple: frente a la salvación ofrecida por Cristo las reacciones son antitéticas, es decir, de rechazo y de acogida. Pero sucede un cam bio inesperado de la parábola: el banquete, una vez preparado, no puede perderse. Los planes de Dios se cum plen, nunca se suspenden. Pero, continúa Mateo, en la segunda parte de la parábola, aun entre los invitados puede encontrarse un falso discípulo que solam ente Jesús puede desenm ascarar. La Palabra en tu vida Hem os sido invitados al banquete de las bodas del Cordero. Ése es el significado de la Eucaristía dom inical. Cada vez son m enos los que participan en la Eucaristía dom inical, pero son m enos aún los que se acercan a com ulgar. Señor Jesús, ayúdanos a despertar en nosotros el deseo de recibirte en la Eucaristía. +++++ M ARK YOUR C ALENDAR M USIC N OTES Cathedral Organist & Music Director Denis Bedard 604-322-5995 Assistant Organist/Music Adm inistrator Catherine W alsh 604-222-8072 Holy Rosary Cathedral 2014-2015 Concert Series presents Bach, Bédard and Boëllmann Cathedral Organist and Music Director Denis Bédard in Concert Friday October 24, 2014, 8 pm - Tickets: $20/$15 Performance visible on a giant screen.
