TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME! S P I R I T UA L R E A D I N G & R E F L E C T I O N PRAYER OF GRATITUDE A prayer of gratitude will a l w a y s i n fl u e n c e o u r perceptions outside prayer. Once we are in the habit of thanking God for all that is happening in our life, including the harder challenges, a new realization awakens. The providential nature of events begins to show itself more. We see the hand of God more at work or at least trust implicitly that his reasons will show themselves in time. The actual presence of a divine request in a day s circumstances becomes more available to our attention. The sense of spiritual opportunity increases, the sense that God is giving us a chance to prove our love in still another way. All these effects are due to a c o n s c i o u s e f fo r t t o express gratitude to God for all he is doing. Father Donald Haggerty Fr. Haggerty is a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, and is currently serving at St. Agnes Church in N.Y.C. Magnificat October 2016 THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED! PAGE 2
