Gratitude

We should daily express our gratitude towards God for all His benefits. The Advent season gives us an opportunity to anticipate with joy the birth of Christ. The Incarnation was by far the greatest event in the whole history of the world. We have been redeemed by the blood of the Word made Flesh.

God comes to us in the person of Christ. He will come again in glory to be our judge. He comes to us through grace whenever we are willing to open our hearts and accept his bountiful gifts. What more could we possibly ask for?

God gave us absolutely everything when He gave us His Son. We now have the sacraments through which we encounter Christ in a concrete manner. We may receive our Lord in the Eucharist as often as we wish. How can we remain indifferent or ungrateful for the favors God bestows upon us?

Today let us give thanks to God.

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
