  3. I came across this liturgy about 2 months ago and have attempted to make this a daily prayer. Let me explain. In the Sacrament of confession I had confessed that I lacked gratitude to God for blessings in my life. The penance given to me was to google a litany of gratitude. By the grace of God I came across this litany. It has opened my eyes that I need to be more grateful of the blessings I have been given. I am confident God will grant me the grace to to embrace a spirit of being grateful. What is left for me now is to cooperate with this grace. Thanks be to God!
    Our hope is in our savior our Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus, I trust in you!
