G.K. Chesterton said “thanks are the highest form of thought, and gratitude is happiness doubles by wonder.” In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz maintains that a sense of gratitude is much more powerful than a sense of entitlement. We all have certain rights we should stand up for, but to recognize and appreciate a gift when it’s given to us is even more beautiful.
“Main Character: Perfect” | The Second Sunday of Advent (Fr. Mike’s Homily)
Perfectionism can move us from caring to quitting. Spiritual perfectionism can lead people who care about the Faith and who love God to a place of harshness and hurry so much that they just want to give up. But the Gospel reminds us that God is gentle and patient.
