We’ve All Forgotten How to Celebrate

by Fr. Mark Mary

We have a cause to celebrate. But we’re really bad at celebrating.

Today, Fr. Mark-Mary teaches us how we can celebrate the gift of Christ more each day. Celebrating can be defined as “the work of receiving the gift”. Celebration is seen all throughout scripture, from the story of the Prodigal Son to the celebration of every Sabbath day. And it's in this celebration that we receive the gift of God’s mercy and grace.

Fr. Mark-Mary explains why we’re not great at receiving the gift and how we can get better at it.
