  • November 2016
    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XII Issue No. X November 2016 A Litany of Thanksgiving n the Gospel of Luke (17:11-19) Jesus cures ten lepers. Saint Luke Ireports that … “One of them, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks…he was a Samaritan.' Jesus remarks, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?'” Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with appeals for us to thank God. Psalm 118 instructs us, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!" The Scriptures even tell us why we should be thankful to the Lord: Because "His steadfast love endures forever!" In the United States for almost four hundred years, there has been a celebration of thanks in November. The first is recorded in November of 1621. From our earliest years as a people, and before we were even an independent country, we have offered public thanksgiving for the gifts of the Lord. To be thankful is not just a polite word to say at Thanksgiving every year. Giving thanks to Almighty God is much more and should be a daily acknowledgment by all of us. We should never take God's gifts and other people’s kindness for • for those things seen and unseen; granted. • for human life, from the womb to the tomb– among the greatest of God's gifts; We speak of a "litany" of thanksgiving.

  • Bishops Urged to Embrace Social Media to Evangelize Effectively
    Bishops urged to embrace social media to evangelize effectively Social media is not only here to stay but should be recognized and used as a “new form of pastoral ministry,” U.S. bishops were told Nov. 15 in their annual meeting. “Social media is proving itself to be a force with which to be reckoned. If not, the church may be facing as great a challenge as that of the Protestant Reformation,” said Bishop Ronald P. Herzog of Alexandria, La., a member of the bishops’ Committee on Communications, in an address to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore. Bishop Herzog noted that although social media has been around for less than 10 years, it lacks the “makings of a fad” and is “causing as fundamental a shift in communication patterns and behavior as the printing press did 500 years ago.” “I don’t think I have to remind you of what happened when the Catholic Church was slow to adapt to that new technology,” he told the bishops. “By the time we decided to seriously promote that common folk should read the Bible, the Protestant Reformation was well under way.” He delivered the committee report on behalf of its chairman, Auxiliary Bishop Gabino Zavala of Los Angeles, who was unable to attend the meeting because he was undergoing back surgery. Bishop Herzog used Pope Benedict XVI’s description of a “digital continent” to describe the multiple media platforms used today and likewise compared it to new mission territory. “We digital immigrants need lessons on the digital culture, just as we expect missionaries to learn the cultures of the people they are evangelizing.
