Grateful living is a way of life which asks us to notice all that is already present and abundant – from the tiniest things of beauty to the grandest of our blessings – and in so doing, to take nothing for granted. We can learn to focus our attention on, and acknowledge, that life is a gift. Even in the most challenging times, living gratefully makes us aware of, and available to, the opportunities that are always available; opportunities to learn and grow, and to extend ourselves with care and compassion to others. With this in mind, I am eternally grateful for all the blessings of the gifts that all of you have so generously given to me. More important to me is the fact that all of you are the most treasured gift to me in my life. May God continue to bless us in 2020. Love & prayers, ~~Fr. Steve
