Thanksgiving, Gratitude & Fatima How to Give Thanks in All Things: Ep. 32
Support the podcast: https://tinyurl.com/franciscanfridays
As Thanksgiving and the First Sunday of Advent arrive together, Fr. Luke and Br. Pius dive deep into the Catholic spirituality of gratitude, even in the face of negativity, suffering, and everyday frustrations. Drawing from Sister Lucia of Fatima, the First Saturday Devotion, Scripture, psychology, and real-life examples, this episode will help you cultivate a heart of thanksgiving—no matter what life throws at you.
