Welcome back friends!
With Thanksgiving a few days away, let us remember the Catholic roots that inspired this infamous dinner, and let us be challenged to be the light amidst the darkness of our circumstances.
Challenges for your family:
1) Print a picture of Squanto and pray as a family for his soul/ask for his intercession if in Heaven
2) Reflect on the year and give thanks to the Lord for carrying us in the hardships. How can we seek Christ when we are hurting?
3) How can we be inspired by Squanto and forgive those who are enemies or have wronged us? How can we ask God to heal our hearts and give us peace as we encounter our transgressors during Thanksgiving?
