Welcome to Episode 2 of Catholic Life Every Day Podcast –  “Connecting Faith: Empowering Catholic Communicators.” This episode explores the powerful connection between gratitude and giving within our Catholic faith.

Our guiding scripture for today is Luke 17:11-19, which tells the story of Jesus cleansing ten lepers, highlighting the importance of gratitude in our lives.

Join our host, John, our theological expert, Tommy Schultz, and our communication specialist, Beth, as they delve into this theme. They discuss how gratitude and giving shape our Catholic identity and offer practical ways to incorporate these principles into your daily life and communication.

As Tommy reflects on the spiritual context of gratitude, he emphasizes the idea of God’s gratuitous gift to us, even when we may not feel deserving. Beth then provides practical tips, such as expressing gratitude through emails and public recognition, making every action a prayer of thanksgiving, and involving the community in sharing their blessings.

Tommy reminds us that our Catholic identity centers around Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and the Eucharist, which is the ultimate act of thanksgiving. Beth emphasizes the importance of recognizing the gifts and talents within your parish community and encouraging their use.

They both encourage welcoming committees to not only greet newcomers but also to discover and utilize their gifts. The episode concludes with a call to integrate gratitude and giving into our daily lives and communication as living witnesses of our Catholic faith.
