Well done Steven, beautiful reflection and an inspiring Gospel. When I wake in the morning I say “Glory to God in the highest Heavens” and subsequently;
Thank you Lord for the gift of this day. I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Your reflections are wonderful, Steven. I appreciate the way you often find ties between the first reading and the Gospel. May we all remember to thank God for the lack of troubles as often as we are grateful for the obvious blessings.

Steven, very good reflection – thank you.
Part of my morning offering prayer is:
Thank you Lord for all you have blessed me with that I’ve done nothing on my own to deserve. Forgive me Lord for those blessings I do not recognize, but more so those that I do recognize but fail to thank, appreciate, those that I abuse, and those blessings I do not know how to use.
Lord have mercy

Truly a valuable reflection. Thank you, Steven. I often wondered why I was tied up in traffic (pre-Covid). I’m sure God was protecting me from an accident. The reflections on A Catholic Moment keep getting better and better. Thank you all.

Thank you Steven. I have reflected before on how lack of gratitude can be hurtful to the Lord. It is one of my shortcomings. St. Francis de Sales said that ingratitude is the root of all sin. Thank you for shedding light on the Gospel message.

This reflection is one for the ages. When I look back and think about where I am today there is not enough time in the day to give back the thanks I owe. I have to start somewhere. Now is my time to fall to his feet with thanks. Incredible reflection SM.

Thanks Steve for yet another thoughtful reflection.
This needs to be reflected on, everyday.
