Thank you—such simple and yet powerful words. Each time we celebrate Mass, we are saying thank you to our Lord. The civic holiday of Thanksgiving reminds us of the power of Thank You. We invite you to share this Thanksgiving Blessing Prayer with your family.

On Thanksgiving Day we will have a special Mass at our Lady’s Shrine. I will give thanks at that Mass for all the blessings our Lady has bestowed on us here at her Association.

Through generous donations we are able to spread devotion to our Lady of the Miraculous Medal around the world. We also aid Vincentians in their charitable work with the poorest and most abandoned. And we support our Vincentian seminarians in their schooling and training to become good priests.

I encourage you to burn Votive Lights and send your Thanksgiving intentions along with the names of the persons you want to be remembered at our Lady’s Shrine. We will remember you, your loved ones, and your intentions in prayer on Thanksgiving Day and during Advent. Don't delay—Thanksgiving is almost here.
