Eukharistia

"How shall I make a return to the Lord, for all the good He has done for me?" Psalm 116:3

Indeed my whole life is a testament to God's unfailing goodness and love. He surrounded me with people who love, support, and encourage me to be the best I can be. He put me in a place where I can use my gifts and talents. He answers my prayers and speaks to me when I need His help, and even when I feel I don't. He forgives me seventy times seven and assures me that nothing shall ever separate me from His love. I do not know which Saint said that God showed His love on the cross for us then when He sacrificed His mortal life for us, and continues to share His life and love with us through the Eucharist. Eucharist is from the Greek eukharistia "thanksgiving and gratitude. Eukharisteo is the usual verb for "to thank, to be thankful" in the Septuagint and Greek New Testament, and kharis is “favor, grace," 

How do I repay the Lord for all the kharis He has shown me? By being faithful to Him, by being sincere in my desire to follow Him, by returning again and again to the fount of living water, so I can be washed clean. Lord, I may never deserve Your love, but may I always try to be Your daughter in every way, to follow Your teachings, and to care for those You care for.
