09/14/08 Gratitude

Homily from the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross:

It's easy to become ungrateful when you don't see what it cost. It's easy to look at a Cross and just sort of think it's nice. But when you look at a Crucifix, and you see our Lord beaten, bruised, cut, crucified...you have to stop and ask yourself, "Am I grateful?"
