Gratitude

Jesus, you worked great miracles for many people, often curing them of their physical and spiritual ills. They followed you on your journey from town to town and provided you with your earthy needs out of their resources because they were thankful to you. Lord, give us the grace to be eternally grateful for what you do for us. Make us thankful that we were included in the Father's plan which accounts for our life on earth. Give us the courage and wisdom to give all that we have to you. Amen. Luke 8: 1-3

Responsorial Psalm

Today's Thought
Imagine how many people would flock to Sunday Mass if the practice was that attendees were given an envelope of money rather than offering one in thanksgiving!

Our Lady of Sorrows, Have Pity on Our Selfish Ways and Pray For Us! Amen.
