11/21/25: The Blessing of a Grateful Heart

School Mass. 11.21.25. In this homily, I reflect on the story of the ten lepers and how only one returned to thank Jesus. I talk to the students, parents, and teachers about how gratitude opens our hearts to deeper healing and blessings—not just physical, but spiritual. As we enter this week, I invite everyone to find just one thing to be grateful for, to share it with someone, and to bring it to prayer.
