The Road to Emmaus by Jorge Cocco
Greg Olsen
This week many of you will be hosting relatives and friends for Thanks-giving Dinner, while others will travel in cars, planes and maybe even trains to be welcomed for Thanksgiving Din-ner by your relatives or close friends. At the meal, no matter where, there may well be a number of others be-cause Americans, for all our rugged individualism, don’t want to leave anybody at home alone microwav-ing their frozen turkey and mashed potato dinners. Thanksgiving is not just a time to eat and drink; it is an important social occasion.
Here are some tips:
Gentlemen are requested to limit their TV football watching. Choose: is it gonna be the Bears and the Li-ons, the Raiders and the Cowboys or the Bills and the Saints? Have you never heard of a DVR? Record the other games on Thanksgiving for watching on Friday. Oh wait, I think there are still more games on Friday.
Don’t talk about the weather. People who don’t live in California don’t like to hear how lovely the weather is here. Remember they are just stepping into winter. (For those of you who have forgotten, winter is a long season that takes place somewhere else with rain, wind, snow, and weeks of cloudy skies. Residents there have to wear galoshes and hats and scarves and gloves.) In-stead, remember, we have the June gloom.
It goes without saying, don’t bring up politics, especially with your relatives. You will have to spend the whole next year knowing that someone who you will have to see again voted like a maniac.
Appropriate hostess gifts include bouquets of flowers or bottles of wine (hint: chardonnay goes well with turkey
but bring it already chilled; the fridge will be jam packed by the time you get there.) Unwelcome gifts are newspaper articles you want to discuss over dinner or casse-roles made out of the leftovers in your own kitchen; if guests don’t know what it is, they’re unlikely to put
it on their plates.
Welcome always are the ones willing to stay after to wash and dry the dishes and silverware. Just remem-ber, if the host is using the good china, be very, very careful not to chip or drop anything. (Those who have imbibed copious amounts of chardonnay obvi-ously should be excluded from these chores.) If you are using just the normal dishes, then the dishwasher can be used; very welcome is the guest who knows how to load into it twice as many dishes, glasses and silverware as you can. I have a friend, Steve, who is a master of dish loading; I never have dishes that I have to hand wash because he gets everything in, absolutely everything. I don’t know how he does it. Sometimes I am tempted to invite him to a party simply because he is the only one I know who can do it.
Take this from a professional: If you are asked to offer the opening blessing, Bless us, O Lord will not cut it on Thanksgiving. You gotta come up with something worthy of the occasion, something as dignified as a pilgrim. But don’t go on and on; guests want to eat their turkey and mashed potatoes while they are still warm. If you get carried away, you can always stop in midsentence and say Amen. Everyone will cheer!
Msgr. Mike

On November 14, the Vatican launched “The Laudato Si’ Action Platform Plan” to help us understand and implement Pope Francis call for ecological justice. This platform will be launched in stages throughout 2021 and 2022. At its completion the platform will comprise three elements: • Laudato Si’ Planning Guides, which your institution, community, or family can use to discern and implement your response to Laudato Si’, • A process-oriented approach that responds to the charism of your institution, community, or family, • Guidance on actions that help build a better future through the Laudato Si’ Goals The Laudato Si’ Action Platform is a unique collaboration between the Vatican, an international coalition of Catholic organizations, and “all men and women of good will.” (LS 3) Taking a truly ground-up approach, it is rooted in the strengths and realities of communities around the world, empowering all to take “decisive action, here and now” as we journey towards a better future together. (LS 161) Action is urgently needed. Our Creator called the human family to be the steward of creation, but we have neglected that call. Our hotter, dirtier, deader planet is driving up the risk of suffering. The most vulnerable suffer above all. At this kairos moment, we are responding to the call for healing in our relationships with God, our neighbors, and the Earth itself. Through the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, we are walking the “path to renewal” together (LS 202).

On Tuesday, in the presence of h u n d r e d s o f parishioners and supporters, the Diocese of Orange b l e s s e d t h e e x p a n d e d Cathedral Memorial Gardens cemetery at the Christ Cathedral campus. The event started with a Mass presided by Bishop Kevin Vann. Afterward, as the carillon played from the Crean Tower above them, he led a short procession from the cathedral to the cemetery grounds, which date to the 1990s when the property was Crystal Cathedral but were recently expanded under the Diocese's ownership. The expansion doubled the size of the grounds and included the construction of a new cemeteries office, mausoleum and various artwork.
The blessing included several Diocese leaders, including Bishop Vann, Bishop Timothy Freyer, Monsignor Stephen Doktorczyk and the Very Rev. Christopher Smith, sprinkling holy water throughout the grounds.
