“All your creatures shall thank you O God.” Part of the reason we can be miserable is because we have not thanked God for the things he has given us today.  Saint Gianna Beretta Molla says that “The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for what He is sending us every day in His goodness.” It is such a powerful thing - just try it! And the bonus is that it is so easy and quick to do. Thankyou Lord for my freedom. Thankyou I have freshwater today. Thankyou that there are police who protect me. Thankyou I have a roof over my head. A human life well-lived - that is a life of thanksgiving.

Let us pray:

“O God, who restore us to eternal life in the Resurrection of Christ, grant your people constancy in faith and hope, that we may never doubt the promises of which we have learned from you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.”
