"I know two people who would be thrilled if Thanksgiving ceased to exist. One of them was my eighth grade Latin teacher. He was astonished that anyone could love that holiday. 'Will you still love it after eating leftover turkey for the twentieth day in a row?' The second was my high school soccer coach. He noticed that the Monday after Thanksgiving, we were out of breath before we began running. 'You ate too much pie! No wonder you can't score!' Both criticisms point to a common Thanksgiving experience: eating too much food. But what if the abundance at this holiday meal can tell us something important about our lives?
"We can explore the deeper meaning of abundance with the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32). . . ."
In a recent commentary, Brother Ambrose Power, O.P., reflected on the many good gifts the Father has bestowed on us, including the gift of His radical love and on how the abundance here on earth points to the greater abundance that God wants to share with us.
