The Good Word

A Thanksgiving Thought

John J. KilgallenNovember 24, 2010

"Knowing I could not master Wisdom but by the gift of God

- and it is a gift of God, to know to Whom I owe the gift -

I turned to the Lord to entreat him. (Wisdom 8, 20)

Someday, may all Americans be blessed to know 'to Whom to credit all our gifts'.

John Kilgallen, S.J.

Vandalizing religious art isn’t defending the church. It’s sacrilege.
