Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks
to God?” Luke 17:17-18
Happy Thanksgiving this week! Though Thanksgiving Day is not spe-cifically a Catholic holy day, it certainly goes hand in hand with our life of faith. Spiritually speaking, we all know that gratitude is central to the Gospel message. Thanksgiving Day presents us with the per-fect opportunity to look at this particular aspect of our faith. We are called to be eternally and deeply grateful. How grateful to God are you? We all struggle in various ways with gratitude. It’s fair to say that we will never be grateful enough until we are perfected in Heav-en. But, for now, it’s important to look at gratitude and to try to let it increase in our souls. First, we will never be grateful unless we see clearly all that God has done for us. It’s so easy in life to focus in on all the struggles we face and, as a result, to get down, depressed, frustrated and even angry at times. What’s far more challenging is to look beyond the crosses and bur-dens we face each day to see the abundance of grace and mercy giv-en to us by our Lord. Unless we see that mercy and grace, we will struggle greatly with authentic gratitude. So on this Thanksgiving Day, reflect upon this simple question: Do I see all God has done for me? Do I see His abundance of mercy alive in my life? The Gospel passage above reveals that Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one of the ten returned in gratitude. Are you like one of the nine who failed in gratitude? If so, you most likely struggle with seeing all the true and abundant blessings from God. If you can humbly admit you struggle with total gratitude, you will have taken the first step to seeing more clearly and the first step to fostering the deeper gratitude you ought to have. Being grateful means you see the truth clearly. Be open to that truth and God will change your life as He fills you with joy!
A Gratitude Examen
Gratitude is one of the greatest spiritual practices. It opens our minds, calms our hearts, and rids bitterness of it’s power. The “examen” is a spiritu-al practice to reflect on how we have responded to God’s work in our lives. This Thanksgiving, consider your own reasons for thankfulness!
What Gifts have You given me?
How have I Received love from others?
How is grace at work in Aspects of my life story?
Do I Trust You to continue to bless me?
Where have I missed Your movements?
Have I used my Talents at the service of other?
Do I see a purpose for my life Underway?
How can I have the Discipline to thank You daily?
Help me give Everything back to You!
St. Edward, pray for us. Treu in Christus, faithfully in Christ, Fr. Rod

The Christmas Giving Tree
Last year, because of your generosity, St. Ed-
ward Parish donated many items to Associat-
ed Charities for the children of the Ashland
community. These items included toys,
games, books, sports balls, hand crafted
items and toiletries. The Christmas Giving
Tree has become a St. Edward Parish and
Knights of Columbus Christmas season tradi-
tion. The Christmas Giving tree will be dis-
played at all Masses beginning on the Friday
after Thanksgiving. If you wish to partici-
pate, any and all gifts for infants through
teenagers are appreciated. If you are looking
for ideas, please take an ornament from the
tree. There will be a gift suggestion on the
reverse side. Please return the ornament and
your gift during the first two weekends in
December so that they may be distributed in
time for Christmas. The gifts should not be
wrapped. We thank you in advance for your
generosity.
The Knights of Columbus is open to all Catholic men. Knights participate in any of our charitable pro-
grams or you could help us find new ways to serve the Ashland area. Please consider joining us.

Do you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, or rel-ative who has been struggling with the loss of a
loved one, loneliness, cancer, a layoff, relocation, divorce, a spiritual crisis, recuperation, single
parenthood, or any of countless other life chal-lenges?
Our Stephen Ministers can provide them with the
focused care, encouragement, and support they need to make it through the crisis.
If you know of someone who is hurting, we can set them up to speak with one of our Stephen Leaders:
Ann Jacobs, Ray Jacobs, Len Leber. They can talk with you about how we can connect the person you know
with one of our Stephen Ministers. It’s a great way for you to show how much you care!
