Gratitude. Gratitude pays off.
On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten leper men walked opposite him. They stopped from afar and cried aloud, “Jesus, teacher, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourself to the priests!” And as they went, they were cleansed. As soon as one noticed that he was healed, he returned and praised God in a great voice. He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet and thanked him, and it was a Samaritan. Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? And where are the nine? Was there not one of these strangers who returned and gave glory to God? “And he said to him,” Arise, and walk; thy faith hath made the whole. “
Did it occur to you to forget about ungratefulness and pay more attention to gratitude? Gratitude is said to be the best medicine, the most beautiful rose, the most potent weapon. Jesus, the only one of the ten healed, came to thank Jesus and said, “Arise and walk, your faith has healed you” (Luke 17:19). In the Lord Jesus’s conduct, we see that he bore good where he walked, did not suffer praise, a celebration The Samaritan of Gratitude. We read elsewhere, for example, “And be grateful” (Col 3:15)! St. Paul not only shows, but we can know him as a man of gratitude. It is possible to ask: what is appreciation based on? Indeed, it is not just an emotional affair, a moment when someone has shown us service, help, love, or attention, a kind of good. It is an internal force that is manifested by external signs. Gratitude is a manifestation of goodness, the interior of man. It is a response to inner attitudes expressed by outward signs.
Jesus points to this fact when he meets the ten lepers; he will heal. Why didn’t Jesus heal them right away? He wanted them to share in the healing themselves, to believe him. In connection with Christ, we gain even more by fulfilling his will. The Samaritan recognized that he was healed, returning to Christ to thank for the body’s healing. Jesus’ words: “Arise and walk, your faith has healed you” (Luke 17:19); they also speak of the recovery of the soul or the growth of faith. And it is gratitude for the development of trust, healing in faith that deserves our greater attention. To be grateful to God for the gift of faith. Relationship to appreciation, attitudes, views on gratitude, and most daily practice speak not only of how we humans are but also of Christian Christians. We ask ourselves: Does God not deserve our thanks? For the gift of life, health, disease, work, hands, eyes, hearing, heart, family, children, and vacation. But also supernatural gifts, for the gift of redemption, for the blessings we receive through the sacraments, Holy Mass, prayer, the deeds of Christian mercy.
The old teacher was celebrating her 80th birthday. Her life was children. She didn’t marry them; she forgot her luck if she gave it up. For several decades she wiped her noses and tears with her freshman. Many forgot about her. How happy she was when her old fathers and mothers, her ex-children, the students, came to congratulate her. Do we take into the situation how a more senior person feels during the Christmas holidays when he is to be alone? How happy he is, as he thanks when his neighbors in the entrance notice him from the street, even though they are not family, and invite them to the Christmas table.
Gratitude pays off. This is not just a statement but a human experience, and one day we will be convinced that it is also an essential key to heaven.
