TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
October 11, 2015
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY
NEXT SUNDAY IS WORLD MISSION DAY
Thanksgiving is a time to remind ourselves of God’s
Blessings, a time we can choose to find God
speaking to us through what he has given us. It is a
time when having looked and found, we decide to
truly thank God for what he has given us, and to
truly trust God for what he will do.

GIORNATA DEL RINGRAZIAMENTO
La giornata del Ringraziamento serve a ricordarci dei
doni del Signore, del messaggio che Egli ci invia
tramite gli stessi doni. In questa giornata, dopo aver
ben riflettuto, ringraziamo risolutamente il Signore
per quanto ci ha dato e ci affidiamo alla sua
Provvidenza per quanto vorrà ancora elargirci.
