The Eucharistic response...

 "When confronted with the abyss of evil,
the only response is the abyss of love." - St John Paul II


 "From the Eucharist
comes strength
to live the Christian life
and zeal
to share that life with others." 

St John Paul II

Blessed Thanksgiving Day!
I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart ... Psalm 138:1a


Gratitude ... goes beyond the "mine" and "thine" and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy. - Fr Henri J. M. Nouwen
