Father’s Thanksgiving Reflection: “Thank You, O Lord” — On Daily Gratitude

About this sermon

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. ✝️ “Christ is among us!” This heartfelt homily reminds us that Thanksgiving should not be limited to one day of the year but should be a way of life — a daily act of gratitude toward God. As we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, this message calls us to look beyond our prayers of supplication and intercession, and instead begin with thanksgiving for all that the Lord has given us. Drawing inspiration from Father Alexander Schmemann’s final homily, “Thank You, O Lord,” this reflection encourages believers to live each day with a heart full of gratitude — for our families, our faith, our joys, and even our sufferings. 🙏 “Everyone capable of thanksgiving is capable of salvation and eternal joy.” In this message, we are reminded to give thanks: For every person and every encounter in our lives For the freedom to worship For the challenges that purify our hearts For the love that unites us in Christ May this Thanksgiving — and every day — be an offering of gratitude to God for His endless blessings. Christ is among us! He is and ever shall be. 📜 Timestamps 0:00 Opening Prayer 0:30 The Meaning of Thanksgiving in Daily Life 1:00 Our Habit of Asking Before Thanking 2:00 Learning Gratitude Through Prayer 3:00 Remembering Father Alexander Schmemann’s Final Homily 4:00 “Thank You, O Lord” – Words of Eternal Thanksgiving 5:30 Giving Thanks in All Circumstances 6:00 A Call to Live with a Heart of Gratitude For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@steliasbrampton & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #ThanksgivingHomily #Gratitude #ChristianFaith #ThankYouOLord #OrthodoxHomily #CatholicHomily #DailyPrayer #ThanksgivingCanada #FaithInAction #ChristIsAmongUs #ChristianReflection #Eucharist #SpiritualGrowth #GiveThanksToTheLord #ChristianLiving 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
