YEAR OF FAITH 2012-2013

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

Every joy and suffering,

every event and need

can become the matter for thanksgiving

which, sharing in that of Christ, should fill one’s whole life:

"Give thanks in all circumstances."(1 Thess 5:18)

.

[CCC 2648]

.

.

Prayer of praise is entirely disinterested

and rises to God, lauds him, and gives Him glory for His own sake,

quite beyond what He has done,

but simply because HE IS.

.

[CCC 2649]
