“O tender Father,
You gave me more, much more,
than I ever thought to ask for.
Thank you, and again thank you,
O Father,  
for having granted my requests,
and for having granted those things
that I never realized
I needed or sought.”

                                    -St. Catherine of Sienna

 For Reflection:

Make a list (mental or written) of the petitions God has answered for you. Now make a list (mental or written) of the many blessings God has bestowed upon you for which you did not make an appeal. Praise and thank Him.
