Good sentiments. Sloppy research. It was not "Chief Squanto" who was invited by the Pilgrims to that first Thanksgiving. It was chief Massosoit. Squanto was not a chief,now was he Wampanoag, though he was a native American blessing from God to the pilgrims. - Mike Childs Thu, 18 Nov 2010 08:22:25 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/thanks.html#comment-3569 Thanksgiving is not the last Thursday of November; it is the fourth Thursday of November. - John Gallagher Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:52:51 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/thanks.html#comment-3566 Thank you Jesus for healing my leprosy.

Here is where they may be found in the last book: Chapter 24: The Blessings Chapter 29: The Beatific Vision Chapter 30: The City of God Thanks be to God for the gift of thanksgiving: Let us show our gratitude by living in God! - Nick Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:19:27 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/thanks.html#comment-3565 I, too, want to hugely thank all of you faithful Catholic columnists for your faithfulness and support of God's Church and all of us. Today at church there were about 650 of us, where we are visiting our son. It was especially wonderful to receive the Precious Blood at Communion. In our diocese we are worried about germs lately. (The best thing is to be used to them-ask those Indians). On this day and all days, for everything, thank you, Father! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Holy Spirit! - Patricia Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:19:15 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/thanks.html#comment-3563 Nice sentiments, Brad, but sadly our popular culture largely sees Thanksgiving as little more than a day to turn gluttonous and look forward to the "Black Friday" mania the following day -- so-called because it supposedly puts retailers in the black for the season. (More celebrated than Good Friday). In the final book of City of God, St. Augustine lists two pages of blessings, and I agree with you that God should be thanked every day for the good that is in the world. - Joseph Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:40:34 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/thanks.html#comment-3562 Your column was just what I needed to read before starting my day of cooking and family activity. I too have a young Lt. flying in from Fort Knox today and all of us around the table will be keenly aware that he will most likely be deployed next Thanksgiving. Without my faith to sustain me this would be an unbearable prospect. Among all of my many blessings today I am also grateful for you and all the other gifted columnists who allow me to start each day with clarity in my faith. God Bless. - Linda Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:25:44 +0100
