The Obligatory Turkey-Ham-Swiss-Midnight-Sandwich With Sausage Stuffing And Black Olives

I officially designate on this blog from Thanksgiving to the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th): The Catholic-Church-Of-Christ Holidays.

Without Christ and His Church, there is no Western Civilization; there is no America. My very existence as a person, a part of a superior nation and part of a superior civilization will be rejoiced and celebrated by me on this blog . . . it all starts today with the Catholic First Thanksgiving . . . it grows in power, majesty and glory, every day until the very nascence of being and time is celebrated with the birth of Jesus The Christ and onward to the Feast of the Epiphany.

It’s all good in all it’s forms . . . the pictorial begins. Happy Catholic-Church-Of-Christ-Holidays.

.  . . the first Thanksgiving had to do with 1565 Florida, Catholic Spaniards and Native Americans.

Squanto was the Native American man who mediated between the Puritan Pilgrims and the Native Americans. Squanto had been enslaved by Protestant English but he was freed by Catholic Spanish Franciscans. Squanto was baptzed and became a Catholic Christian. So it was a baptized Catholic Native American who orchestrated what became known as Thanksgiving even in 1621.

Christ and the Holy Spirit leads us to the Father in our liturgical life of thanksgiving and praise.

“Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body (Christ’s Church), for we all partake of the one loaf” One Corinthians 10:17 ‘

Don’t forget that in addition to PETITION, CONTRITION, and ADORATION, the fourth valid type of prayer is APPRECIATION (thanksgiving). The best way to express thanks is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass whereby the Holy Eucharist is made present by the Priest on the altar. The Greek word for ‘giving thanks’ is the root word (eukaristein) eukaristein) for EUCHARIST. Although not a Holyday of obligation, Catholic Americans should go to Mass on Thanksgiving BEFORE indulging in food and football.

Angelina Jolie Just Got Exponentially More Attractive — She’s Not A Fan Of Obama

Actually, saying Angelina is not a fan of President Obama is an understatement. According to a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, Angelina, 34, “hates Obama.”

If true it certainly makes sense, given the fact that:

“She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise.”

Angelina is into education and rehabilitation; Obama is into socialism; and rounding things off, Brad Pitt thinks gay marriage and pot are good while religion is bad . . . deep Brad, deep . . . and just think, it only took Brad 45 years to get so deep.

Go Here For The Complete US Story.

Seriously, yesterday, do you think Angelina had a big piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream all over it? How about the absolutely obligatory turkey sandwich with mayo at around 9:30 PM during a DVD intermission?

Thanksgiving … A Different Kind Of Holiday And Unlike Any Other In The World.

Thanksgiving is the time of year to reflect on the grace of life,
Gather together with loved ones, and express gratitude for blessings.

No holiday compares to Thanksgiving.
None is like it, anywhere in the world.

It celebrates no battle of war, no birthday of a great man,
No political revolution and no church ritual.

It is simply the act of thankful remembrance
That another harvest for our needs has not failed.

This is a holiday of peace,
Of the home, and of living not by bread alone.

Thanksgiving is a very personal holiday.
And, we each give thanks in our own way.

It is difficult to think of Thanksgiving without reminiscing about the past.
Family gathered around the dining room table, the wonderful smell of turkey
and trimmings, grandparents, cool weather, colored leaves.

A time to consider our own uniqueness, and our thanks.

And of our loved ones; children, parents, sisters, brothers, nieces,
nephews, aunts, uncles, old friends and new ones together.

Thanksgiving is a time to forgive and forget;
a time to love, share and enjoy.

Let us be thankful for our wonderful blessings and freedom.
Let us not wait for a funeral service to gather with one another.

Let us open our hearts to each other and play and appreciate.
Let us not wait until it is too late.

Let us be satisfied with our own possessions,
To covet not and to hate or resent nothing in the world. — unknown
