The Felician Sisters of North America’s Day of Gratitude invites us to pause and reflect on the many blessings that shape our lives. It is a day to express appreciation for the people, experiences, and places that have influenced us.
Consider reflecting on blessings such as:
- The impact of Blessed Mary Angela’s teaching to “serve where you are needed.”
- The connections that exist between your ministry and the seeds planted by the five pioneer sisters 150 years ago.
- A person who has positively influenced your life.
- A memorable event or special place that holds meaning for you.
- A relative, living or deceased, who is significant to you.
Incorporate gratitude throughout your day:
- Individually: Set phone reminders to reflect on a blessing. This practice fosters mindfulness, appreciation, and a deeper sense of thankfulness.
- In schools: Pause and reflect during class transitions.
- In offices: Take a moment during break times.
Let this Day of Gratitude renew our hearts with thankfulness and reflection, following the example of Blessed Mary Angela’s spirit of service and mission.
