Gratitude is a virtue we need to always strive to cultivate in our lives. We are called to always be grateful to God for all that He has given us, even when we don’t understand what He is doing in our lives.
Our entire lives and all that we have are from God. He is the source of all gifts, of grace, of our happiness, and of our salvation. There is a lot to be grateful for.
Are you making a special effort to thank God daily? We can offer our gratitude when He has given us what we have prayed for, when He has answered our prayers in unexpected ways, or when He has given us what we needed before we even asked.
Over the next nine days, we will pray the Novena of Gratitude, giving thanks to God for all the blessings we see from Him and for those we do not see.
Lord, help us grow hearts of gratitude. Heal us from our lack of gratefulness, especially in light of Your faithfulness. Amen
