1. For Catholics, Thanksgiving has a deep meaning, and is very different from the American meaning of Thanksgiving.
- Catholics celebrate Thanksgiving every day of the year because Thanksgiving has more than one meaning; the popular sense, and the spiritual sense.
- The word Eucharist literally means 'Thanksgiving.'
- For Catholics, there is a spiritual warfare surrounding the deeper sense of Thanksgiving. Long before any Pilgrims or Puritans began the custom of a Thanksgiving meal, Catholics were already far out in front by close to 1,600 years.
2. Who was the first disciple to receive the Eucharist?
- A: The first disciple, Mary, the Mother of God. Mary received the Eucharist before it had even been instituted. She received the Eucharist in her womb. That was 33 years before it was instituted by Christ.
Thanks to Michael Voris, S.T.B., for reminding me about this precious gift we can receive every day of our lives as Catholics.
God Bless you all,
Sean
P.S. The photos reflect a little of what comes to my mind when I think of the word Thanksgiving.
