Today's Class November 19

Class will begin, as usual, with a discussion of the readings for today's Mass. You can find the readings here. We will talk about the Feast Day of St. Cecilia (November 22).

Last class, we talked about the seasons of the Church. In discussing Advent, we talked about preparing for the coming of Christ - not just the birth of Christ, but also at the final judgement. Today's gospel is relevant to our discussion of Advent - it ends with ""But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

We then will discuss Thanksgiving and what it means to a Catholic. We will review the types of prayers we as Catholics can offer. Of course, one type of prayer is a a prayer of thanksgiving (which ties in rather neatly, don't you think?).
