"There is perhaps no greater benefit to
mental health than gratitude. Grateful people are different. They are
more joyful, for gratitude is a form of joy. They are more generous,
kind, patient, forgiving, confident, and trusting.
"Gratitude is a discipline of the mind
wherein we commit to counting our blessings every day and expressing
thanks to God. Our blessings are countless and our burdens, though real,
are far fewer and of a passing nature. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on the importance of cultivating gratitude "rooted in wonder and awe at what God has done and continues to do for us."
