I live in upstate NY, and it's corn season here. We've had a lot of rain, and I think some of the crop was lost. I'm on my second ear, butter, salt: simple but unsurpassable.
When I think of all that the Good Lord has deigned to Bless me with, I'm overcome with gratitude. And supposedly, no one deserves blessings, but I can think of countless people who deserve them more than me.
Does the Church talk about Gratitude much these days? Is it in the modernists' lexicon?
The modernists greatest self-deception is that the Church is about Man, and not The Son of Man. So, perhaps man, is another watchword.
Anywhere near the Capitol District?
Yes. Every Mass is a thanksgiving to God for all that He has done for us.
God doesn't need the Church, but man does.
The Church is for man; it is the Body of Christ. He gives Himself to man in every Mass, in every prayer.
It is a pity of man if he does not avail himself of this great gift of the Church and of the graces God gives him.
