28th  SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
October   10,  2004

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend, we should think about gratitude.  What was wrong with those ungrateful nine in today’s gospel?  Why didn’t they say “thank you”?  Thank God for that one thankful thought.  God, help us to cultivate more of them.   Happy Thanksgiving!

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

O God, who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests, deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making YOU known & loved by all.   Through the intercession of Our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord.   Amen.
