Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your
love. Accept thanks for the peace that yields this day and
the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us
strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will,
and write in our hearts these words: Use power to help
people. For we are given power not to advance our own
purpose, not to make a great show in the world, not a name,
There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people.
Help us remember, Lord. Amen

Nov. 17, St. Elizabeth of Hungary:1207-1231: She w as born at
Pressburg or Saros-Patak, Hungary. When four years old was brought to the
court of Landgrave Herman I of Thuringia at Wartburg Castle, near Eisenach, as
the betrothed of his son Ludwig. She was married at the age of 14, had four
children, and they were an ideal married couple. She became known for her great
charity, built a hospital at the foot of their castle. They were married six years
when Ludwig went on crusade and died of the plague at Otantto. She was
heartbroken, and to add to her troubles she was accused of mismanaging his
estate because of her great charity; she was forced to leave Wartburg, probably
forced out by her brother-in-law. She made provisions for her children and in
1228 became a Franciscan tertiary. She devoted herself to caring for the sick, the
aged, and the poor at the hospice there. She led a life of exceptional poverty and
humility and was allowed back to the castle four years before her death by the
usurper, who also recognized her son’s succession to the title of landgrave. She
died at Marburg, not yet 24, and soon miracles were reported at her tomb.

Thanksgiving Proclamation
“It is right that we should be
grateful for the plenty amidst
which we live; the productivity of
our farms, the outpour of our
factories, the skill of our artisans
and the ingenuity of our
inventors. But in the midst of our
Thanksgiving, let us not be un-
mindful of the plight of those in
many parts of the world to whom
hunger is no stranger and the
plight of those millions more
who live without the blessings of
liberty and freedom, with some,
we are able to share our material
abundance. To all we can offer
the sustenance of hope that we
shall not fail in our unceasing
efforts to make this a peaceful
and prosperous world for all
mankind.
John F. Kennedy

Rejoice always, pray constantly,

I have many things to be thankful for, God. And
sometimes I remember them and other times, I forget.
When something large or small goes wrong, it fills
my mind and I forget those things for which–
when I remember– I am thankful.
Help me to remember the good things. God.
To name them, to savor them, to be thankful to you.
