Today's readings are here: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/050712.cfm
In the first reading, St. Paul talks about how God showed his goodness to the Gentiles (non-Jews) by providing rain and crops, which filled them with nourishment and gladness.
In the same way, God provides us with every good thing to show us a Father's love and fill our hearts with joy. This is why we should refer every good thing and event to God with grateful prayer. For example, the other day, my wife and I sat on the couch and watched a few innings of the Yankees' game on my iPad while our children played in the playroom. Moments like this are gifts from God; and if we use them with gratitude to God, they can help us grow in our relationship with him.
May God open our eyes to see his goodness present in every moment.
