TWENTY-EIGHTH ORDINARY SUNDAY
(Harvest Thanksgiving)
One of the hallmarks of true faith is thanksgiving. Both our Masses today focus on this theme and, indeed, the very word ‘Eucharist’ means ‘thanksgiving’. We give thanks for all the good things we enjoy, including the fruits of the harvest; especially we give thanks for Christ Himself.
