Brother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk, teaches us that “Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy—because we will always want to have something else or something more.”
May the Holy One make our hearts open to receive and cknowledge the many blessings in our life. May we have a sense of gratitude and awe for all that we have already been given, and may we find that we already possess all that we need to live a life of meaning and purpose.
May this be God’s will.—AMEN.
