Episode 07 The Gift of Gratitude

Episode 07 The Gift of Gratitude

Welcome back to “2 Minutes with the Lord.” In today’s episode, we explore a vital but often overlooked aspect of our spiritual lives: The Gift of Gratitude. Our biblical guide for today is the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17. I am your host Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, together we embark on the journey of gratitude. Jesus heals ten lepers, but only one returns to give thanks. This lone Samaritan, an outsider, demonstrates a profound understanding of the value of gratitude. Allow me to share the story of Emily, a young woman who had it all but felt emptiness creeping into her life. Emily started practicing daily gratitude and found that her perspective changed. The job she dreaded going to became a blessing, and the strained relationships with her family began to heal. Just like the Samaritan leper, Emily returned to give thanks for her life, despite its imperfections. And in doing so, she found something that many search for but few truly find: Gratitude isn’t just an occasional feeling—it’s a way of life. Psalm 107:1 tells us, “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Gratitude helps us focus on that enduring love, even when faced with challenges. It acts as a lens that magnifies God’s blessings, often overlooked in our busy lives. St. Teresa of Avila wisely said, “There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.” In our acts of gratitude, we express a form of humility, acknowledging that every good gift comes from above. So, as you go about your week, I challenge you to be like the one leper who returned, like Emily, who found contentment in gratitude. Recognise the blessings you’ve received, big or small, and give thanks. Gratitude isn’t just a spiritual concept; it’s backed by science. Research has shown that practicing gratitude can improve mental health, enhance relationships, and even boost physical well-being. It rewires our brains to focus on the positive aspects of life. So, how can we cultivate gratitude in our lives? It begins with mindfulness, with being present in the moment and appreciating what we have. It involves taking time to reflect on the blessings of God both big and small, that surround us daily. Gratitude is not just an action but a transformative gift from God, leading us to contentment and a fuller appreciation of His eternal love. Until next week, may your hearts be filled with gratitude and your lives be touched by God’s everlasting grace. God bless you all.

Episode 03 Becoming Prayer

Episode 03 Becoming Prayer

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-enriching episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a transformative journey to explore a practical way of Christian living - "Becoming Prayer.” Let us begin by contemplating the profound impact of prayer in our lives. In St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians 4:6-7, we find these words of wisdom: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." These verses remind us that prayer is a conduit to God's peace, a transformative force that can calm our anxieties and bring us closer to Him. How can we transform our lives into a continuous prayer, an offering to the Divine?

Episode 02 Anchored in Hope

Episode 02 Anchored in Hope

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-nourishing episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a journey to explore a topic that is both comforting and transformative - "Anchored in Hope." The Essence of Hope Let's begin by unraveling the essence of hope and how it is deeply intertwined with our faith. In the book of Romans, the verse 15:13 reminds us: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." These words beautifully encapsulate the idea that hope is not just a human sentiment but a divine gift, a source of joy and peace that flows from our trust in God. To truly grasp the depth of hope, let's envision a ship anchored in a safe harbor during a storm. The anchor keeps the ship steady amidst the raging waves, providing security and preventing it from being carried away by the tempest. Similarly, hope serves as our spiritual anchor, keeping us steadfast in the face of life's storms.
