4 Thanksgiving Day Il Giorno di Ringraziamento La prima volta che venne festeggiato il Thanksgiving Day (Giorno del Ringraziamento) in Nord America, fu nel 1578 quando l esploratore inglese Martin Frobisher arrivò nel nuovo continente e ordinò una cerimonia per ringraziare Dio per la protezione data al suo gruppo durante la lunga e pericolosa attraversata oceanica. Tuttavia, gran parte dei moderni nordamericani associano la tradizione della Festa del Ringraziamento ai Padri Fondatori. In molti tavoli americani, il tacchino ripieno è ancora l orgoglio del pasto per il Ringraziamento. Solo negli Stati Uniti, più di 40 milioni di tacchini sono consumati durante il weekend festivo ogni anno. Solitamente è accompagnato dal sugo e dal ripieno. Nella costa est il ripieno di ostriche è tradizionale, come quando in passato i crostacei erano economici e abbondanti nel mare. Nel sud si trova con ripieno di focaccia al granturco, mentre nel nord degli Usa puoi trovare il Wild Rice (spezia nordamericana) tra gli ingredienti del tacchino. La salsa di mirtillo è tradizionale, fatta con bacche fresche o congelate. Piatto tradizionale del Ringraziamento sono per molti le patate dolci, unite allo zucchero, spezie e burro, Le 40 Ore - Figlia: Mamma cosa sono le 40 ore? - Madre: Sono ore che si passano in compagnia di Gesù nell Ostia consacrata, nell Eucaristia. - Figlia: E perché? - M. Per dirgli quanto è importante per noi, quanto sia grande il nostro amore per Lui. - F. Ma perché proprio 40 ore e non 30 o 50? - M. Perché 40 sono le ore che Gesù ha passato nel sepolcro e 40 sono i giorni della nostra preparazione alla Pasqua: anche noi come Gesù siamo partiti dal deserto dove Gesù per 40 giorni è stato tentato, per camminare verso Gerusalemme dove lo celebreremo sofferente, morto e risorto. - F. Ma dove si vanno a fare le 40 ore? - M. Si va nella casa di Gesù, in Chiesa. Là lo trovi esposto nell ostensorio (sembra un bellissimo sole) su di un trono in mezzo a fiori e ceri accesi. - F.Ma scusa mamma, ma chi ha inventato le 40 ore? - M.Le 40 Ore sono nate tanti anni fa, più o meno all inizio del 1500 a Milano grazie ad alcuni sacerdoti che hanno pensato che quest adorazione continua fosse il modo migliore per chiedere aiuto a Gesù in momenti molto difficili che il paese doveva superare, come la guerra e la peste. La preghiera davanti al Santissimo Sacramento ha donato fiducia e speranza agli uomini di quel tempo, così pian piano le 40 Ore sono state diffuse un po dappertutto in Italia, in Europa e nel mondo. Eucharistic Days (40 hours) take place in November The closing ceremony will be Sunday, November 25 at 4:00 PM Main Celebrant The Most Reverend Manuel A. Cruz Vespers and Benediction. There are many hours available for Eucharistic Adoration. In particular, we will have all night Adoration: Friday night from 8:00 PM until Saturday 7:15 AM. Saturday from 9 AM 4:45 PM And from 6PM until 8 AM next Day Sunday 1PM until closing Adoration. Please sign up this weekend for an hour during that night or for one of the other adoration times. Come spend an hour with the Lord Jesus.

5 Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family and friends and reflect on the blessings of the last year. Many of us experience renewed hope and faith during the Thanksgiving holiday because we turn our eyes onto what is most important. What if we spent time each day in giving thanks and prayer? How could God grow out faith and trust if we lived a life of thanks through all seasons and not just Thanksgiving time? When your heart is filled with gratitude, there is little room to worry or complain. I will give thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens (Psalm 7:17-18:1). In Jesus name, amen." The church office will be closed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, for the Thanksgiving holidays. Mass on Thanksgiving Day will be celebrated at 9:00 AM at Mt Carmel Church. Masses on Friday: At Mt Carmel Church: 8:00AM Polish 8:30AM English We wish all parishioners and their families a very happy Thanksgiving and thank God for all the blessings he has bestowed on us. Fr Zenon SDS Pastor, Superior Fr Pawel SDS; Fr Lukasz, SDS Święto Dziękczynienia (Thanksgiving Day) obchodzone jest na pamiątkę pierwszego dziękczynienia założycieli angielskiej kolonii w Plymouth, którzy przybyli do Nowej Anglii na statku Mayflower 21 listopada, 1620 r, jako grupa 102 purytan z Anglii. Pierwsi osadnicy niewiele wiedzieli o nowym kraju. Podczas pierwszej zimy ponieśli wielkie straty i wielu z nich zmarło z głodu. Z pomocą pierwszym osadnikom przyszli Indianie, którzy dzielili się z pielgrzymami swoimi zapasami żywności, a wiosną pokazali jak uprawia się kukurydzę, dynię i rośliny strączkowe. Żniwa 1621 roku były już obfite. Pozostali przy życiu koloniści zdecydowali uczcić to świętem, wraz z 91 Indianami z plemienia Wampanoagów. Zaprosili czerwonoskórych przyjaciół na przyjęcie. Pierwsze Święto Dziękczynienia obchodzone było bardzo hucznie i trwało aż trzy dni. Jedzono głównie kaczki, gęsi, dziczyznę, ryby oraz warzywa, wśród których królowała dynia i kukurydza. Świętem narodowym ogłosił Thanksgiving w 1863 roku prezydent Abraham Lincoln. Dziś Święto Dziękczynienia sprowadza się głównie do tradycyjnego, uroczystego obiadu w gronie rodziny i przyjaciół. To także czas dziękowania sobie nawzajem za życzliwość i dobroć opiekę i pomyślność. W czwartek, 22 listopada 2018 r. obchodzimy Dzień Dziękczynienia. Zwyczajem lat ubiegłych, nie będzie w tym dniu Mszy Świętej o 7:00 PM. Będzie tylko jedna Msza Święta o 9:00 AM. Ponadto, w Dzień Dziękczynienia oraz w dniu następnym (piątek) kancelaria parafialna będzie nieczynna. Wspomnienie świętej Cecylii, dziewicy i męczennicy, patronki muzyki kościelnej 22 listopada. Panu Daylowi, naszemu organiście oraz wszystkim osobom śpiewającym w chórze, dziękujemy za posługę i życzymy błogosławieństwa Bożego i opieki świętej Cecylii!
