Today, October 8 is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. I am truly grateful to be living in this country that welcomes the stranger with Open Arms. Happy Thanksgiving All.

My mother used to say Charity begins at home. If we are kind, loving, generous to each other at home, it will (or should) overflow naturally to embrace our neighbour.

Blessings. ? ?

Loved your reflection on living life by the “Golden Rule”. I find it very hard at times to accept the differences of human behavior and beliefs. It is extremely hard when it hits home and I am in a difficult conversation or have to acknowledge one when dealing with a close friend or family member. Thank You for reminding me to live by the “Golden Rule”!

Indeed, good reflection. Its important to “recognize” all of our neighbors and not forget them…

Great topic and connection so applicable to our current society. That “good samaritan”is in all of us. We might be a little uncomfortable in that skin however when we break through the goodness of the Lord shines. Thank you Dan for bringing your reflections to all of us who share the Catholic Moment.

Thanks Dan for the wonderful message on loving our neighbours although some like the terrorists would seem unlovable but with Gods grace all is possible. God bless you and have lovely week

Amen. Pray for my home country, the Philippines, where more than 12,000 people, mostly poor defenseless, have been killed in a state-sanctioned war on drugs that enjoys popular support from the citizens. I pray that our people be inspired to look at their fellow countrymen with mercy and compassion like the Good Samaritan.
