On this day when the people of the United States of America give thanks [hopefully] to God, it must be providential that the prayer of the Church, The Liturgy of the Hours, has Psalm 81, in which we proclaim God's fidelity and love for his people.
O that my people would heed me; that Israel would walk in my ways. At once I would subdue their foes, turn my hand against their enemies. . . . But Israel I would feed with the finest wheat and fill them with honey from the rock.
We can truly replace the word "Israel" with "America" or "the world's peoples" because, in establishing his Church, Jesus the Christ has extended the Covenant to all peoples. O, if only we would heed the Lord's voice and thus let Jesus and the Culture of Life reign in our hearts. Then our foes (Satan and his pro-death minions) would be subdued forever. Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!
