Episode Synopsis

Today, September 27, is the anniversary of the beatification of Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, first successor of Saint Josemaria. It took place Madrid in 2014. In a letter to the Prelate of Opus Dei, Pope Francis quoted a commonly-used phrase of Blessed Alvaro: "Thank you, forgive me, and help me more". Developing a habitual spirit of thanksgiving can protect us from the triggers of bad moods, gloominess and become more aware of God's presence in our day. Start with thanksgiving at the first moment of the day when you wake up.
Music: Handel, Lascia ch'io pianga, guitar by Bert Alink.
