11/25/25: Grateful Hearts

Tuesday Mass. 11.25.25. In this homily, I share a story about how gratitude can change the way we see everything. From a woman overwhelmed with thankfulness for simply being alive, to a lesson I learned in seminary about focusing less on complaints and more on God’s blessings, I reflect on how gratitude reshapes the heart. As we approach Thanksgiving and the first Sunday of Advent, I invite you to pause, notice the gifts in your life, and remember the eternal kingdom God has promised us.
