What I’m thankful for . . .

I am most grateful this year for the mild and sunny weather, the amazing changing colours of the leafs, the sounds and smells of fall and others who are appreciative of these things (.Grace Colella)

What I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving is the ketogenic diet. (Raj Vijyakumar)

What I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving is the Covid pandemic. It’s ironic the isolation and restrictions have mysteriously brought me closer to Christ. I realize what is ultimately important because I cannot indulge my material pleasures  so easily.  (John Montague)

What I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving? Certainly my upbringing in a good Catholic family, the offshoot of that being my vocation. (Bill Robins, SJ)

What I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving is that I was born in Canada and, not, God forbid, Afghanistan. That when someone knocks at my door I’m not afraid to open it, worried that there would be someone with a machete on the other side of that door. (Mary Hansen)

What I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving is the privilege of living and working here on these 600 acres at the Ignatius Jesuit Centre and being able to go for walks on it most days.  I feel especially blessed to stop on the way and pray a while in the light filled St Francis chapel. (Bill Clarke, SJ)
