Thanksgiving and Praise Exercise

The Diocese of Phoenix published a spiritual exercise to help people practice thanksgiving and praise for creation.

The exercise encourages individuals to reflect on the miracle of their own existence and the role of God in shaping human life. It suggests that people may find it difficult to feel connected to the natural world due to modern urban and suburban lifestyles, such as living in apartments or traveling in cars.

To complete the exercise, the Diocese suggests recalling a specific moment when a person felt integrated with the world around them and offering thanks to God for that experience.
