Gratitude is part of the virtue of justice.  We are happy when we realize we owe so much to God and others and express this gratitude in our words and actions.  Our fast-paced world gives us little time to reflect; we have to “make space” to recognize the blessings.  Giving your students a gratitude log as part of their religion homework, bell-work, or an exit ticket on their day helps them develop the habit of living in gratitude.
