Faith entails the opening of the person to the Lord's grace; it means recognizing that everything is a gift, everything is grace. What a treasure is hidden in two small words: "thank you"!

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we rejoiced” (Psalm 126:3). A similar spirit of joy and thanksgiving should mark our own prayer as we recall the care which God has shown to us in the events of our lives, even those which seem dark and bitter.

We must be more attentive to the good things that the Lord gives us. We always pay attention to the problems, difficulties, and almost do not want to see that there are good things that come from the Lord. This kind of attention becomes gratitude, which is very important for us. Gratitude creates a memory of the good, that also helps us in the dark times.

We should look at how often, in the events of our lives, the Lord has protected us, guided and helped us -- and we should praise Him for what He has done for us.

Despite the fact that we have nothing to give in return and we are full of faults, Jesus invites us to his table and wants to be with us…We must experience gratitude before such a generous God.

Those who like the healed Samaritan (Lk. 17:19) know how to say ‘Thank you’, show that they do not consider everything their due but as a gift that comes ultimately from God, even when it arrives through men and women, or through nature.
