00:00Thanksgiving is almost here.
00:10And while it may be considered a secular holiday, there are definitely ways to tie in the Catholic
00:15faith.
00:16You may be celebrating with friends and family who might not be Catholic.
00:19There are still some really good ways to make sure God is at the center of Thanksgiving.
00:23If I had to quote the great GK Chesterton, he says that thanks are the highest form
00:29of thought.
00:30I mean, after all, Thanksgiving is a staple form of prayer.
00:33So although it's kind of a bit of a cliche, everyone going around taking turns, just telling
00:38each other what they're thankful for.
00:40I've seen it done where on the napkin, the place setting, there'll be a little prayer
00:44card printed out with a prayer of Thanksgiving.
00:47Going to mass on Thanksgiving is probably honestly the best way to start your day on
00:51Thanksgiving.
00:52If you can gather the troops and get as many friends and family to go with you for mass,
00:57that would be amazing.
