People who live in a place of gratitude usually focus on what they have. On the other hand, those who struggle with greed and live in that place typically focus on what they don’t have. Both can have or do not have the same thing, but one person can experience fullness and gratitude. In comparison, one person has an experience of emptiness, disappointment, and discouragement.

God uses these mysteries to communicate medicines for our transformation, our holiness, and the things we most deeply need to grow, change, heal, and become the children of God he made us to be.

Know Thyself
How much do you know about yourself? This might be a good starting point to ask ourselves in our interior life pilgrimage. From self-protection to self-acceptance, to self-possession, and ultimately to self-gift, it’s a journey to know oneself.
