HAPPY PATRONESS FEAST DAY!!! 🎵❤🎶🤍


Schedule is very tight because of A.R.E. tonight. We will be doing more reading of the Catechism in preparation as a result, rather than typing.
We will paste the daily devotionals for later comment.

------‐--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I type anything else for today, let me say this=
Reading the A.R.E. handout & supplementing it with etymology has PROFOUNDLY DEEPENED my knowledge & understanding of the Eucharist, which in turn invariably does & continually will deepen my love for Christ IN that Most Holy Sacrament in the future.
Honestly I learned SO MUCH.
Comment on it later, especially the enriched meanings that the etymology gave-- but first attend the actual meeting, and learn from that faithful community what you cannot on your own!

KVOTD =
"We show gratitude to God BY being full of joy, happiness, and thankfulness."
Those virtues are MUTUALLY INCLUSIVE with gratitude! You actually CANNOT be happy, let alone joyful, if you are ungrateful!
I actually looked up the etymology of "thanks," and it is originally related to thought, reflection, & sentiment? Which is fascinating-- here, it implies that not only do we show gratitude to God by remembering what He has done for us-- which makes sense-- but also that if we DON'T reflect on God's work in our lives, we cannot show gratitude!
