One hundred fifty years ago, Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November "as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens." More than an act of gratitude for a bountiful harvest, the President desired to strengthen bonds of unity in the nation and recommit the people to peace and tranquility. As we celebrate Thanksgiving Day, let us not forget the greatest act of Thanksgiving, the Eucharistic Feast.
Doctrine: Eucharistic, patriotism
