Holy Wednesday Mediation

First, watch Lauren's talk here: NYC Virtual Holy Week Youth Mission Gratitude

1. What is my main symptom (frustration/self-pity/anxiety/depression/ anger/boredom etc) of the “quarantine-virus”?

2. Why do I think it is affecting me this way? What could be the cause?

3. What personal gift (life/health/family) am I most grateful for?

4. What material gift (water/electricity/plumbing/internet/food/safety etc) am I most grateful for?

5. What spiritual gift (the in-dwelling of the Holy Trinity in my soul/the ability to pray/reading scripture/Jesus dying on the cross for me etc) am I most grateful for?

6. How do I plan to grow in the virtue of gratitude to combat the “quarantine-virus”?
