Dear Friends in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary near Saint Joseph,
“‘When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit upon His glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before Him.’”
Jesus Christ is Our Lord and
King. He is a gentle, gracious, loving and merciful Sovereign. Yet, He commands
us to love and to obey Him, knowing that this is what is best for us. May we
resist Him no longer. Let us cry: “Come and reign over us, Christ Our
King!”

“What is Your Question?”
By Father Ben Miriam
Q. How is thankfulness or gratitude defined?
A. The Catholic Culture Website offers a helpful definition of
thankfulness or gratitude. “The virtue by which a person acknowledges,
interiorly and exteriorly, gifts received and seeks to make at least some
return for the gift conferred. Essentially gratitude consists of an interior
disposition, a grateful heart, but when genuine it tries somehow to express
itself in words and deeds. Consequently it includes three elements:
acknowledgment that a gift has been received, appreciation expressed in
thankfulness, and as far as possible some return for what has been freely given
with no obligation on the donor’s part.”
