Happy New Month!

As we slide into a new month, we are setting our sights on a truly heartwarming virtue—Gratitude! As Saint Josemaria said in his book “Friends of God” “Gratitude is the foundation of all the virtues”. We live in a world where things happen so fast, and sometimes we forget to just pause and appreciate the little (and big) things.

Gratitude is not just about saying thank you, it’s about acknowledging the effort, love, or help that has come your way. And when you do that, you are opening the door to more blessings! Now, we don’t just practice gratitude to get more, we do it because it makes us better people.
Saint Josemaría Escrivá reminds us of this: “Get used to lifting your heart to God, in acts of thanksgiving, many times a day.”

You may be wondering, “Why is gratitude such a big deal?” Well, here’s the thing: Gratitude has this awesome power to flip your mindset. Instead of always focusing on what you don’t have, you start seeing what you do have.

Next time you wake up, instead of groaning about how early it is, try something new: say, “Wow! I’m grateful for another day.”
Thanksgiving for benefits received is a duty which ought to be constantly practised. – Saint Josemaria Escriva.

Wishing you a month filled with appreciation, thankfulness, and loads of good vibes!
