Readings for today's homily
We sometimes tell children that there are two magic words, please and thank-you. In our prayer life, we sometimes focus on the please and not the thank-you. Please do this, give me that, please, please, please!
In Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, we are reminded there is also a thank-you when he says "We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters".
Maybe it's a call for us this day to be conscious of the blessings we have in life; perhaps it is other people, or certain situations, or good health, good friends. Let us focus on the second of the magic words today, thank-you.
