Thirty-Fourth Thursday in Ordinary Time

"Alleluia! Salvation, glory, and might belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her harlotry. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

Our entire lives should be one unending Alleluia, “Praise God!” For it was He who created the universe we live in, the sun that warms us, and the earth that holds us. He is the one who gave us our lives and freedom. He has provided everything to us we could grow in faith, hope, and love. He has been with us from the beginning. He is constantly with us. And He will always be with us as long as we allow Him to do so. He is the Just and Merciful Judge of all and will give each of us exactly what we deserve. This is why He deserves to be praised from the moment we wake to the moment we sleep... every day of our lives.

Do we praise God as we should? Do we thank Him for all the gifts He has given us? How can we praise Him through our every thought, word, and work?

O Lord, salvation, glory and might belong to you.

Amen.
