Do you stop every once in a while simply to recognize how blessed you are? Do you ever simply marvel at the grace that has been shared with you? Recognizing the goodness that has been shown us will always help us to look at life differently.
As Jesus was travelling from town to town, he spoke harshly about the ways in which those he encountered turned a blind eye, or a hard heart to the goodness that was in their very midst. To hear him say it: Woe to you ... for if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done elsewhere, they would long ago have relented (Mt 11:21).
As we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel today, let us ask our heavenly mother to help us be particularly aware of the goodness that we have received, in the form of blessings of so many kinds ... and let us ask her also to help us to recognize and appreciate the beauty of our faith, the treasure with which we have been entrusted.
Have a great day.
