An Attitude of Gratitude: Necessary For Our Own Salvation
This is an approximation of the homily for the 28th week of ordinary time delivered at St Luke the Evangelist in Slidell. It is based on the scripture reading found here.
We learn from an early age that expressing gratitude is important. Someone gives us a gift, we say thank you. If we don’t, our parents gently remind us “what do you say.” Gratitude is a two part response to a gift. The first part is the thing for which you are grateful. The second and most important part is that gratitude recognizes the giver, the person responsible for the gift.
