Magic Words ~ Msgr. Daniel Hoye

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.
