Dear Parent/Guardian,

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good;

His love endures forever.

Psalm 107:1

This Sunday we celebrate a tribute to Christ the King. This final Sunday of the liturgical year recalls for us that over and above everything else in our lives is the Lord. He truly is the beginning and the end of everything; for it is through him that we come to life at birth and to eternal life at death.

This week we will celebrate Thanksgiving in gratitude for the many blessings we have been given by the Lord. This is a time to appreciate both the physical and spiritual gifts we receive from our families and friends. Often, the gifts, which are not tangible – time, concern, patience – are the ones we most genuinely appreciate.

As the busyness of our lives increases during the next few weeks, try to focus on what is really important in our lives. Once we do, we will know where our time and energy should be expended.
