MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
I n Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving day this
year on Monday, October 9th. Most people
plan get-togethers on this week-end with family
and friends. It is important to thank people who
care for us, assist us and support us. Speaking
words of gratitude to each other and showing it
by our actions deepens and strengthens our
relationships.
On the spiritual level, being grateful and
thankful to God is very important.
Psalm 92.1 says “it is good to give thanks to the
Lord, always and for everything.” St. Vincent de
Paul often said “ the grateful heart doesn’t want
for anything because you cannot be both grateful
and unhappy at the same time.”
On this Thanksgiving weekend, let us
rightly give thanks to God for the blessings He
gives us: family, material goods, our Catholic faith
and parish, health, our citizenship, the
forgiveness of sins and other graces from God.
The Eucharist is the greatest prayer of
thanksgiving – we give thanks to the Lord at Mass
for all He has done for us especially His saving
death and resurrection.
May we also resolve to be even more
committed to show our gratitude to God by
sharing our blessings with other people. The
2017 Project Advance appeal is an excellent way
for us as members of the Archdiocese to share
God’s gifts to us with others who have real needs.
Our Cathedral parish benefits as well through the
rebate program which returns offerings to Holy
Rosary once our share of the Archdiocesan
program is covered.
If you have participated already this year
in the Project Advance appeal – thank you! If you
have not so far, we plan to send you a letter soon
inviting you to make a sacrificial offering to
Project Advance. When you receive it please
XXVII Sunday in Ordinary Time
prayerfully consider your participation.
Wishing you and your family a blessed
Thanksgiving weekend . . .
Fr. Galvon
A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
F ather in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly
upon us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in
this time of giving thanks.
Thank you for all the graces and blessings. You
have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal:
our faith and religious heritage. Our food and
shelter, our health, the loves we have for one
another, our family and friends.
Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please
grant us continued graces and blessings
throughout the coming year.
This we ask in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
who lives and reigns with you forever and ever.
Amen
The Holy Eucharist is the
supreme way in which we
thank God for all His many
blessings.

CATECISMO DE LA IGLESIA CATOLICA Por qué el Verbo se hizo carne 456 Con el Credo Niceno-Constantinopolitano respondemos confesando: "Por nosotros los hombres y por nuestra salvacio n bajo del cielo, y por obra del Espí ritu Santo se encarno de Marí a la Virgen y se hizo hombre". 457 El Verbo se encarno para salvarnos reconcilia ndonos con Dios: "Dios nos amo y nos envio a su Hijo como propiciacio n por nuestros pecados" (1 Jn 4, 10)."El Padre envio a su Hijo para ser salvador del mundo" (1 Jn 4, 14). "El se manifesto para quitar los pecados" (1 Jn 3, 5): Nuestra naturaleza enferma exigí a ser sanada; desgarrada, ser restablecida; muerta, ser resucitada. Habí amos perdida la posesio n del bien, era necesario que se nos devolviera. Encerrados en las tinieblas, hacia falta que nos llegara la luz; estando cautivos, espera bamos un salvador; prisioneros, un socorro; esclavos, un libertador. ¿No tení an importancia estos razonamientos? ¿No merecí an conmover a Dios hasta el punto de hacerle bajar hasta nuestra naturaleza humana para visitarla ya que la humanidad se encontraba en un estado tan miserable y tan desgraciado? (San Gregorio de Nisa, or. catech. 15). 460 El Verbo se encarno para hacernos "partí cipes de la naturaleza divina" (2 P 1, 4): "Porque tal es la razo n por la que el Verbo se hizo hombre, y el Hijo de Dios, Hijo del hombre: Para que el hombre al entrar en comunio n con el Verbo y al recibir así la filiacio n divina, se convirtiera en hijo de Dios" (S. Ireneo, haer., 3, 19, 1). "Porque el Hijo de Dios se hizo hombre para hacernos Dios" (S. Atanasio, Inc., 54, 3). "Unigenitus Dei Filius, suae divinitatis volens nos esse participes, naturam nostram assumpsit, ut homines deos faceret factus homo" ("El Hijo Unige nito de Dios, queriendo hacernos participantes de su divinidad, asumio nuestra naturaleza, para que, habie ndose hecho hombre, hiciera dioses a los hombres") (Santo Toma s de A., opusc 57 in festo Corp. Chr., 1).
