Daily Thought: Time and time again our scripture tradition reminds us of our call to gratitude. Today's Gospel is one such story. It is the Samaritan's gratitude that heals him and saves him! We often talk about the three great virtues of Faith, Hope and Love but perhaps there is a fourth, Gratitude, the grace of being thankful. St. Paul in his First Letter to the Thessalonians reminds us that "In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." As we journey through life today let us be aware of God's many gifts and be grateful even when it might be difficult.
Daily Prayer: Good Shepherd, keep us ever mindful today of your generous love. Help us to recognize your presence in all we meet, in everything we do and within ourselves. Let us always rejoice and give thanks for the enormous grace you give us, so that one day you will say to us, "Your faith has saved you, come share me joy!"...Amen!
Runner's Thought: When you run enjoy the rewards of God's presence that you often experience along the way. However remember that sometimes the most productive runs will likely come on those days when God's presnec seems elusive!
Something That Might Interest You: Talk by Archbishop Wilton Gregory about Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. A wonderful reflection on the gifts of Cardinal Bernard. Gifts we don\ not find often in leadership today!http://archatl.com/archbishops/gregory/writings/2012/abgbernardinlectureuniveritysouthcarolina.pdf
Blessings and Have a Great Day! ...Peace in Christ's Passion, Fr. Paul
