When we become truly conscious of the gifts of God, we no longer have the time to ask for anything. We keep going and saying Thank You….Thank You…Thank You…Thank You… We see a person…Thank You…We see a flower…Thank You…We see a glass of milk…Thank You…Thank You….for everything! And such a joy enters into our life that many, even of those that are close to us, cannot understand what’s all this. When I lived in England sometimes people asked: What’s up? Why are you so happy”? “Because I am alive and I see you…Good day to you”!
Fr. Mark Beshara
Families like to meet together for a meal. When the family is large and particularly close to one another, it usually develops this family meal into a kind of ritual. Most Americans find this most clearly expressed in the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, held every year. The time and place are important for Thanksgiving Dinner, so too is the menu which must be built around certain meats—usually a big turkey—and certain other traditional dishes, such as cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (I Thessalonians 5:18)

But during this present, difficult time, when the earth has grown old, is burdened by faithlessness, lawlessness, and ignorance of the knowledge of God’s commandments, has our Fervent Intercessor turned away from us in her zeal for the glory of her Son and God? No, my dears, this could not be. Needy children are dearer to a mother.

The Exaltation of the Lord’s Cross has arrived. Then the Cross was erected on a high place, so that the people could see it and render honor to it. Now, the cross is raised in the churches and monasteries. But this is all external. There is a spiritual exaltation of the cross in the heart.
