Thanksgiving: a time of rejoicing in blessings, particularly the blessings of family, friendships, and faith (and yes, to be honest: food and football, as well!). Of all these, faith perhaps gets the shortest shrift on this day, and yet the essence of Christianity is that it is a eucharistic (thanks-giving) faith. In the words of the Exultet, the great hymn of the Easter Vigil: "Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed."
To celebrate properly, an excerpt from Messiah for everyone's holiday pleasure. Enjoy!
