Thanksgiving: Gratitude for the Eucharist and Christ-Centered Relationships, by Thomas Griffin

By Thomas Griffin, National Catholic Register - It is the Eucharist that allows us to be in communion with the God of love whose identity is relationship. It is the Eucharist that unites us with each other in such a way that we see the other as Christ. It is the Eucharist that is the greatest gift given to us by God... As we prepare for Thanksgiving, let us be challenged to reflect on the greatest gifts of life: loving relationships. Let us be moved to rejoice in the gift of our loved ones and the gift of the Eucharist. Doing so will enable us to have our fill of the Thanksgiving feast while being rooted in the God of love — the only One who can truly fulfill us.
