The secret of happiness is to
live moment by moment and
to thank God for all that He,
in His goodness, sends to us day after day.
--St. Gianna Beretta Molla
The Eucharist truly is the sacrifice by which we give thanks to Almighty God for saving us from death and giving us new and eternal life. As such, it is infinitely more important than our venerable federal holiday. We should therefore celebrate every Divine Liturgy with an even greater sense of gratitude and sincerity of heart. I encourage all of us—especially during this month of Thanksgiving—to contemplate this oft-neglected aspect of the Eucharist. May these reflections lead to a deeper appreciation for what the Eucharist truly is. And may we who are blessed to participate in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Altar humbly and sincerely give thanks to Almighty God, the source of all grace and goodness!
--Dr. Richard Declue
