Today is that holiday that comes around once a year. Yes folks it's Thanksgiving. This tradition started when Pilgrims and Indians exchanging and sharing things they have grown, and the tradition has been carried on ever since. There is so much to be thankful for. Every year my family and I go around the table and say what we are thankful for. I am thankful for God giving me a chance to live life, for blessing me with a child that adores me and a man who loves me, for my older sister Daija who always has my back, for my STL family who has accepted me for me, for God leading me to bigger and better opportunities, and to my friends and teachers who are placing me on the road of success. Psalm 100 says "Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations." What are you thankful for?
I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge 1 Corinthians 1:4-5
The Vatican Church, dedicated in honour of St. Peter, is the second patriarchal church at Rome, and in it reposes one half of the precious remains of the bodies of SS. Peter and Paul. The tombs of the great conquerors and lords of the world have been long since destroyed and forgotten; but those of the martyrs are glorious by the veneration which the faithful pay to their memory.Churches are dedicated only to God, though often under the patronage of some saint; that the faithful may be excited to implore, with united suffrages, the intercession of such a saint, and that churches may be distinguished by bearing different titles. "Neither do we," says St. Austin, "erect churches or appoint priesthoods, sacred rites, and sacrifices to the martyrs; because, not the martyrs, but the God of the martyrs is our God. Who, among the faithful, ever heard a priest standing at the altar which is erected over the body of a martyr to the honour and worship of God say, in praying, We offer up sacrifices to thee, O Peter, or Paul, or Cyprian; when at their memories (or titular altars) it is offered to God, who made them both men and martyrs, and has associated them to his angels in heavenly honour."
My name is Isis Bryant. I have been trying to explore the meaning of life. I embarked on the journey to search for God's everlasting love. I am a senior at Parkway South High School. Class of 2015. I am not the average teenage girl but an extraordinaire. I am a living testimony, and so are you. I believe life is important, and God gives us this one to live, so that we can experience His enduring love. Love thy self and thy neighbor. Pax Christi

The Things That We Love Tell Us What We Are... St. Thomas Aquinas
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Marianne Williamson
