This has nothing to do with the thread, and everything to do with it.

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.
