"I have always loved Thanksgiving. As a child, I enjoyed being together with extended family and the traditions of the holiday. For my family, that meant morning Mass and then a family football game at the park. My Mom was happy to have us out of the way for a few hours, and it was great to be with the cousins. It was also wonderful to return home and open the door to the smell of the cooking feast. The meal was always as noisy as it was delicious. Another delight of Thanksgiving was the long weekend that followed and the volume of leftovers to fuel more family adventure.
"Over the years, my appreciation for the holiday has only deepened. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Archbishop Richard G. Henning reflected on the virtue of gratitude and the celebration of Thanksgiving.
