Our country celebrates “Thanksgiving” to remind us that gratitude is something to be shared and shown in our words and actions. How can we make this feeling of gratitude and thanksgiving a habit throughout the whole year? How can we be a greater witness of Christ by letting go of our feelings of entitlement, the feelings that we deserve to get everything we want? In what ways can we grow to appreciate what we have and to recognize the more important things in life? The things that money can’t buy!
No generation is immune from the violence and devastation of war. As Catholics, are we in opposition to our faith if we decide to serve our country in the military? Are we in conflict with the 5th Commandment if we are responsible for lives lost during a war? What does the Church’s “Just War Theory” tell us? Can war – in any way — truly be justified?
