An Attitude of Gratitude
Focus: Before we begin the annual frenzy of cooking, cleaning and other personal preparations for Thanksgiving, along with myriad parish responsibilities, catechetical leaders need to take time to reflect on the blessings in our lives and to express our gratitude to the Lord for his bountiful love and providence. For a few moments each day in the coming weeks, put other tasks aside and name the things in your life for which you are most grateful. Wisdom “No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks” (St. Ambrose). “We should spend as much time in thanking God for his benefits as we do in asking him for them” (St. Vincent de Paul). Exploring Within… Write a letter of thanks to someone who has been a blessing to you. What makes it easy, or difficult, for you to begin each day with an attitude of gratitude? |
