At the heart of the Mass — the center of all things — is thanksgiving. Eucharist. We were made for this: to give thanks, to praise the God who gives Himself to us in grace, in glory, in utterance and knowledge and gift. In Christ, by the Spirit, we are not just blessed — we are made partakers of the divine.
St. Paul calls us to be confirmed in this grace, established and unwavering. Not merely recipients of a gift, but those who carry it forward — blameless, enduring, waiting for the coming of Christ. This is what it means to offer a sacrifice of praise: not words alone, but a life rooted in gratitude, resolute in the storm, joyfully alive in Him.
It is not enough to be enriched — we must abide. Will we remain in Him?
