For the week of Sunday, November 26, 2017 • Christ the King Sunday
Dear Members of Pax Christi,
Thank you for your contributions to the Thanksgiving meals! Through your generosity, the parish was able to send 145 boxes of food to Northside Extension Services and Little Earth of United Tribes agencies for distribution to their neediest members. Over $7800 in Cub Food gift cards and monetary donations was collected; food donations by parishioners supplied about half of the items contained in the boxes, and 43 shared ministers volunteered their time and talent to assist in the shopping, sorting, and preparing the boxes for distribution. Children in the Faith Formation and Children’s Liturgy of the Word decorated the boxes in festive fashion. These many hands were instrumental in this faith community experience of outreach to our brothers and sisters in Minneapolis. We have already received heartfelt gratitude from Ann at Northside Extension:
Dear Parishioners at Pax Christi,
Want to thank you for keeping North Minneapolis’ Grandma Frances Hollenboch’s dream alive. We as family and friends of Minneapolis are sending love and prayers your way. As my mother would say, you all are a blessing to so many families. You have touched so many in so many ways at Easter and Thanksgiving.
Once again, thank you all so much!

As my mother would say, you all are a blessing to so many families. You have touched so many in so many ways at Easter and Thanksgiving.
Once again, thank you all so much!
It is notes like the above that help us understand the notion of gratitude, for whether we are the givers or the recipients of gifts, we are all receivers of the many good and wonderful blessings of life, and our best response is one of humility. As we bow our heads or join hands around the Thanksgiving table with those we are gathered with, we naturally bring with these gestures a posture of humility, for if we are authentically grateful, we also know that all is gift, undeserved, but are indications that we stand basking in the small and large ways of being loved by our Creator. Edward Hays in Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim, sums up this response of giving thanks in the following prayer:
O Divine Gift-giver, I stand beneath the endless waterfall
of your abundant gifts to me.
I thank you especially for the blessing of life,
the most precious gift of all your gifts to me.
I thank you, Ever-generous One, for clothing to wear,
for food and drink to nourish my body,
for all the talents and skills that you have bestowed upon me.
I thank you for the many joys of my life,
for family and friends,
for work that gives to me a sense of purpose
and invests my life with meaning.
I thank you as well
for the sufferings and trial of my life, which are also gifts
and which together with my mistakes
are among my most important teachers.
Grant that I may never greet a new day
without the awareness of some gift for which to give you thanks.
And may constant thanksgiving
be my song of perpetual praise to you.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Thanksgiving!
Jane
