"A life of faith is a life of gratitude – it means a life in which I am
willing to experience my complete dependence upon God and to praise and
thank him unceasingly for the gift of being. A truly eucharistic life
means always saying thanks to God, always praising God, and always being
more surprised by the abundance of God’s goodness and love. How can
such a life not also be a joyful life? It is the truly converted life
in which God has become the center of all. There gratitude is joy and
joy is gratitude and everything becomes a surprising sign of God’s
presence."Henri Nouwen
