Thursday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Thursday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time

God loves us and has therefore shown us great mercy.  He sent His Son to redeem us and we have been forgiven.  Now, like the woman in the Gospel today, we must come before Him and give thanks.  We do not need to give thanks just like she did with ointment and tears and kisses, but we can give thanks in other ways (like in prayer and in not taking for granted the gifts that we have).   Let us give thanks.
