Giving Thanks

is also about trusting God to provide, as elucidated so gratifyingly by Abbot Joseph.

"...it is not only our sins that Christ bore in Himself on the Cross—He also bore our fears...That is why we can afford to be generous, self-sacrificing, courageous, and also content with whatever God sends or permits in this life. This deserves considerable reflection, and it should be yet another reason for our gratitude on this day."
