Fr. Tony’s Mid-week Message
February 19, 2014
Gratitude, a sense of thankfulness, is the emotion that can
drive out all ill feeling, fear, doubt, and anger. There seems to be something in our hard
wiring that simply disallows feeling any of those other negative emotions at
the same time we feel thanks. Some of
our “head-shop” Ashland friends would say that thankfulness is a positive
energy, and it cannot be present without driving away “negative energies.” Some Christian theologians would call it the
queen of the theological virtues or graces.
However we understand it, thanks is a key way of
experiencing grace and connecting with God.
Let us remember to give thanks each day, both to God in our prayers, and
to those about us.
Grace and Peace, Fr. Tony+
