“If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.”
–Meister Eckhart

Flourish with the spirituality and psychology of gratitude.

This course explores the spiritual and theological underpinnings that are foundational for enhancing and developing the art and spirituality of gratitude.

Under the guidance of renowned Christian spirituality expert Fr. Anthony Ciorra, you will explore how gratitude is at the heart of all Christian spirituality. Gratitude offers a path that leads to deeper love and awareness of God, self, and the world. You will foster positive attitudes that will open your heart to love, forgiveness, and peace. These practices are best expressed in the context of community, and thus the art of gratitude proves to be the bridge between profound spirituality and authentic religious practice.

As this thoughtful and lively course so clearly demonstrates, gratitude is about remembering and noticing. More than anything, gratitude helps us understand and live out the realities of God’s grace.

Weaving together our rich spiritual and theological traditions with ideas from modern psychology, Fr. Ciorra invites you to bring the fullness of gratitude into your prayer and daily living.

  1. Sister Angie Shaughnessy, Louisville, KY. USA

    *

    This course spoke to my heart. Sabbath time is something many of us neglect for the sake of ministry, or so we tell ourselves. Father Ciorra shows that it is as necessary as the air we breathe.

  2. Joe

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    I have loved listening to the program ‘Gratitude: Seeing as a Gift.’ I have listened to these CDs several times now and find that I learn something new each time. Fr. Ciorra is a very gifted presenter.

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    Easy to understand the concepts of spirituality and follow the instructions and guidances of practicing them in daily ordinary life.

  11. Sr. Ellen Rose O., NY

    Spring Survey: April 2017

    This is the second audience I have showed Gratitude to. Its intellectual content is excellent, a real survey of spirituality. Fr. Ceora is an interesting, down to earth speaker. Both groups of Religious Sisters who saw the production got a lot out of it.

  12. Sister Mary G., TX

    Summer Survey: July 2017

    A good aid to positive thinking and drawing one more frequently into the presence of God.

    Gratitude is so appropriate for the present time especially. The content is very good and the speaker is great. We watch it in our prayer group and discuss it. We all (8) have gotten so much from it.

    Information that most people can relate to

  16. Bertha Novaczyk (verified owner)

    I am not a religious scholar. I am an everyday Catholic person. I have found the DVD’s I purchased by Fr. Anthony Ciorra one of my superior purchases from Learn 25. It has developed within me a new awareness of what it means to be grateful to God for everything in my life even though I believed I was grateful. Superior teacher of examining Scripture, the saints, and other scholars to focus on our lives as gratitude to our God of love and goodness in our lives.
