By David Nussman, Church Militant - I'm grateful for my job (and no, I'm not getting paid to say that), for my parish, for the roof over my head, for money in the bank account and for food in the cabinets... If we want to talk about thankfulness in relation to something specifically religious, a natural place to start is the Holy Mass... As some readers may have heard before, the Greek word for the Eucharist — "eucharistia" or "ευχαριστία" — means "thanksgiving."
