As we celebrated Thanksgiving, 2015, we remembered CSA community in many places. We were especially grateful for the gift of the people who touch our lives along the border. We prayed the following prayer from Glenmary Home Missions:
God, source and giver of all things, we give you thanks on this Thanksgiving Day for the beauty of the whole of creation.
We give you thanks for the blessings of family and friends: both those gathered around this table and those who are present only in our hearts.
We give you thanks for this food, prepared by loving hands, and for the graces you provide to nourish our bodies, minds and hearts so that we might better serve you.
Help us to be faithful stewards of that has been given us. May we reflect that which we have received to all we meet, especially the less fortunate in our midst.
In the late afternoon, the School Sisters of Notre Dame who work with us joined us for conversation and appreciation.
