Continuing along these lines, the Pope explains that precisely the Greek word <em>Eucharist<\/em> means that, thanksgiving. He then develops a series of reflections around gratitude, starting from <strong>the first reason for which we are indebted: the gift of life<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To dilate the heart before the coming of the Savior<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encountering and dealing with Jesus leads us to broaden our sense of gratitude. \"<em>This \"grace\", which the Christian shares with everyone, is extended in the encounter with Jesus. The Gospels testify that the passage of Jesus often gives rise to joy and praise to God in those who encounter him.<\/em>\". In fact, the Christmas stories are permeated with people with this <strong>heart dilated by the arrival of the Savior<\/strong>: \"<em>And we too have been called to participate in this immense exultation.<\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joy, fruit of prayer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Pope encourages us to foster this encounter with Jesus<\/strong>, <strong>that leads us to true joy<\/strong> and deep. \"<em>Let us try to be always in the joy of the encounter with Jesus. We cultivate joy. However, the devil, after having deceived us, always leaves us sad and alone. If we are in Christ, no sin and no threat can ever prevent us from continuing our journey with joy, together with so many companions on our journey.<\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, <strong>the Holy Father encourages us to never stop giving thanks<\/strong>. \"<em>If we are bearers of gratitude, the world also becomes better, maybe just a little, but it is enough to transmit a little hope. Everything is united and connected, and everyone can do his or her part wherever he or she is. The path to happiness is the one that St. Paul described at the end of one of his letters: \"The path to happiness is the one that St. Paul described at the end of one of his letters: \"<strong>Pray constantly. In everything give thanks,<\/strong> For this is what God, in Christ Jesus, wants from you. Do not extinguish the Spirit\".<\/em>\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En esta ocasi\u00f3n, el Papa se ha centrado en la oraci\u00f3n de acci\u00f3n de gracias, sirvi\u00e9ndose del pasaje donde Jes\u00fas cura a diez leprosos, pero solamente uno vuelve para dar las gracias y alabar a Dios por la gracia recibida.
