Reader: Use holiday season to give “thanks generously and joyfully’

A big “thanks” to editorial writer Daniel Conway for his piece in the Nov. 17 issue of The Criterion on “Living like Jesus, giving thanks generously and joyfully.”

Conway likened Catholic life to being like “stewards,” with Jesus being our perfect example.

The key factors in all of this are to be grateful, responsible, caring, sharing, and to not be consumed with self.

His best line of the editorial to me though, was when he quoted Pope Francis as saying that we all ought to try harder at not being “sourpusses.”

Yes! I agree! And with the holidays now here and us all having shopping and travelling and guests in our home, let’s accept the challenge to up our game and be happy and grateful this holiday season—and not sourpusses!
