About our drink:
The Christian Brothers Brandy is made from the finest grape varietals and incorporates the same time-honored copper pot still production method perfected over 75 years ago . This process, similar to that of fine Cognacs, creates a rich flavor and full body, enhanced by slow aging in hand-selected Bourbon barrels for a minimum of two years. During aging, the oak barrels imbue the Brandy with layers of well-balanced fruit flavors and a warm, lingering finish.
About our gear:
Not necessarily a gear this week. More of a thought on how we should be thinking about keeping our kids safe in regards to technology.
About the Topic:
Gratitude orients our thoughts toward reality
3 things from Fr. Romano Guardini - the Catholic Thing
• You can only express gratitude toward another person
• Gratitude can only be had in the realm of freedom
• We do not thank the sun for rising (not a person and the sun doesn’t have freedom)
• We do not give thanks for something to which we have a rightful claim
• Gratitude vs politeness
• Gratitude can also be polluted by the giver
• Giving out of a sense of superiority, power, or indifference does not merit the same level of gratitude
Remember the past with gratitude.  Live the present with enthusiasm.  Look forward to the future with confidence.” – St. John Paul II
Would that I could exhaust myself in acts of thanksgiving and gratitude towards this Divine Heart, for the great favor He shows us.” – St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Get used to lifting your heart to God, in acts of thanksgiving, many times a day. Because he gives you this and that. Because you have been despised. Because you haven’t what you need or because you have. Thank him for everything, because everything is good.” – St. Josemaria Escriva
Gratitude is the memory of the heart.” – Saint Mary Euphrasia
