On this Thanksgiving Day, we give thanks for all your prayers. Every month, a Mass is offered for the John 10:10 prayer partners and all their intentions. The Lord receives all our prayers and little offerings and places them where they are needed.
Catechism of the Catholic Church #1330 The Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which the Church expresses her gratitude to God for all His benefits, for all He has accomplished through creation, redemption, and sanctification. Eucharist means, first of all, "thanksgiving."
Our Blessed Virgin Mary offered her life and gave her Fiat through her obedience and humble service. This is true worship of God, surrendering to His Will. In heaven, she leads a song of eternal praise, like incense raising up to God.
Listen, my faithful children: open up your petals, like roses planted near running waters; send up the sweet odor of incense, break forth in blossoms like the lily. Send up the sweet odor of your hymn of praise; bless the Lord for all He has done! Sirach 39:13-14
O give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1
