Does the Church talk about Gratitude much these days?

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.
