Faith (multimedia)Contemplating gratitude this Thanksgiving seasonGratitude is a consistent theme found in FaithND content. Powered by the Notre Dame Alumni Association, FaithND emails daily gospel reflections to a community of 70,000. ( Sign up.) A recent reflection, based on a passage in Luke, includes this thought:
"Gratitude helps us note and appreciate positive experiences, build strong relationships, deal with adversity, improve our health, increase our resiliency and view the future more confidently and optimistically." —David Boudrot '96
Everyday Holiness, meanwhile, is a podcast produced by FaithND. In this episode, Knott Hall Rector Patrick Kincaid shares his gratitude for mentors who shaped him in light of his father's illness and passing, as well as the joys he experiences as rector forming young people. If you are looking for Thankgiving prayer to email someone or to say before dinner, FaithND has those too. Happy Thanksgiving!
