The Gift of Family

As we sat around our Thanksgiving table and even on Friday, shared more food together, weren't we more aware and grateful than ever of our families?  Those with college age sons and daughters saw growing and maturing young men and women who filled us with joy and pride as we saw that the time, energy and love we give them is not spent in vain.  What Black Friday Bargain could make us happier?  There's no contest, no comparison.  It makes us humble and grateful to know we have played a part, an important part in these lives.
On this Saturday dedicated to our Blessed Mother, we might look upon her as the real mother of our family, our brothers and sisters in Christ, and we might give her thanks for raising us and nurturing us in the love of her Son and our Brother Jesus.   Before we join with her in the Advent weeks of waiting, may we offer a simple word of thanks to her.
