LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Today I am grateful that I live in a nation where I am free to cast my vote for the candidates I see fit without fear of violence or recrimnation. I am grateful that I can proudly take my Catholic conscience into the voting booth with me.

I feel gratitude for the women who worked so hard to earn me the right to vote. I am grateful to the feminist foremothers for their struggle, their sacrifices, and for their pro-life convictions.

I am grateful to live in a nation where power is transferred without bloodshed and acts of violence. For the gift of democracy.

For the right to vote, no matter who I vote for.

What are you grateful for today?
