The CatholiCity Message

Volume XIII, Number 7 – November 25, 2009

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

In light of the Thanksgiving Holiday, we will keep this brief. Many of you have no doubt heard about the stunning Manhattan Declaration, a pro-life and pro-marriage statement released this week and signed by dozens of Catholic and Protestant scholars, luminaries, bishops, and leaders. Over 120,000 laymen have already added their signatures to the statement.

We have reviewed the statement and urge all 60,000 CatholiCity Citizens to add their names to the Declaration using the online form (there is a link to the statement itself on the URL provide below):

We also recommend that you get the word out to your friends and relatives.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Like many of you, our favorite holiday is Thanksgiving in terms of how it is celebrated. Uniquely American, it is simple, God-centered, family-oriented, and seemingly immune from commercialization. Let all of us, tens of thousands of us together, join in praying the following, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...

"Jesus–we whisper. Jesus–we long for You.
Jesus–with tears well in our eyes. Jesus.
You are our prayer. Thank you, Father. Amen."

We'll be back soon. Thank you for being a part of our work, and don't forget to sign the Manhattan Declaration. We remain yours...

In Christ,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
