Thanksgiving
“” Early in this year, we are eager to seek heaven for the relief we need … But we are less eager to thank our Heavenly Father for all the blessings He has bestowed on us!
Ingratitude is the result of our selfishness and our pride. Everything seems due. Yet is it not what the Lord came to complain to St. Margaret Mary about : “forgetfulness and ingratitude which men pay back his immense love”?
Honor guards are at the forefront of this family because they are more delicately introduced to Jesus by living near his Heart as they are committed to console the bitterness which this tender heart is watered. So we thank Him humbly making every arbitrary acts an act of thanksgiving! We will do each and every one of our actions in this spirit and with this intention. But we will not be content to give thanks for the many known and unknown benefits which Providence has blessed us during the year, we interpret that feeling of gratitude for the ungrateful crowd that covers the earth and never thank his Creator. By our actions of patience, by the small service to the neighbor, the tiring race of our days, our arduous, our forced inaction, our trials, etc. we say “thank you for me and all my brothers! »
What sublime thought that Deo Gratias is uninterruptedly sung by our family. Our year began and we will prepare for the spiritual riches that the Royal Heart of Jesus will deign to provide for it! “”
