The Duty of Gratitude Jun 21, 2024

Welcome to The Brooke Taylor Show. This episode includes a previously recorded interview with Father Fr. Ramil Fajardo, originally airing on The Inner Life on Relevant Radio. On the show we discuss the following:

What is gratitude?
Javier – wondering why he feels sadness with gratitude.
What is the connection between Gratitude and Generosity?
(26:04) Mary – comment – easy to be thankful when things going well, but even when they’ re not, you still need to be thankful to God.
Jackie – one of the exercises she’s learned…come up with three things at the end of the day that you’re grateful for, and then your brain no longer has any bandwidth to focus on negative.
11:44 Mary Lou – practitioner of gratitude. Write down 5 things daily. She’s in the practice of writing it down. Been doing it for 25 years. Has influenced her joy.
Gratitude and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The heart as a doorway.
