Campus Ministry Reflections
“No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks,” says St. Ambrose of Milan. This year has been a struggle for many people and yet it seems more important than ever, to take time to remember our blessings and to give thanks to God who loves and cares for us.
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, even though it may be different from in the past, I hope that we can be grateful. . . for the gift of life, the beauty of creation, for the communities to which we belong (families, friends, co-workers, teams, neighbors), for answered and unanswered prayers and for laughter and tears. Let us be grateful for opportunities to pray, reflect, and grow in our faith. Let us be grateful for the examples of the saints and for fond memories of our deceased loved ones. Let us be grateful for the students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni and benefactors of St. Ambrose University.
It’s important that we thank God, both in our prayer and our actions, for the blessings we have received by “paying it forward” to others. On this Christ the King Sunday, we hear in the Gospel parable, “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.” These expressions of care and concern for God’s people are also expressions of thanksgiving to God for the way God loves and cares for us. During this Thanksgiving season, let us look for the blessings and give thanks to our God not only with words but also through our actions! -- Tammy
