Join Sumer as she creates a space for us to be present with ourselves and with God right where we are. This week’s episode will feature a small portion of text on gratitude from Thoughts in Solitude by Thomas Merton.  May these words be kind companions along your journey.

"To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything

He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath

we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace,

for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore 

takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly 

awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God.

For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by

experience. And that is what makes all the difference."

-Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude
