How to Be Grateful All the Time, No Matter What

In the busyness of our lives, it can be easy to focus on the things we wish were different instead of the blessings we’ve been given. In fact, St. Ignatius actually thought that ingratitude was one of the gravest sins we could commit against God. So how can we grow in gratitude daily?

Today, Fr. Mark-Mary and Danielle Bean explain how we can practice being grateful all the time—no matter our circumstances or state of life.
