Messages about praise and thanksgiving

The messages of Our Lady about the praise are very important. She reminds us that God is joyful and we have to thank Him more. 

Message of 12/28/2007 - "My children, today I ask you to thank God. Don’t pray only to ask forgiveness and graces. God wants to give everything for you and wants to forgive everything, because his Heart is infinitely generous and his charity is boundless, because He is a Father. You are asking, asking, asking. But you almost never thank God. Look at your lives and you will recognize that everything you have is the Father who gave. Everything is grace. Everything is gift from God. Don’t be ungrateful before so many things that He gaves to you and still gives. He gives the life, which is a precious gift. And He gave the greatest gift which is his Son at Christmas and sent Him to save the world. Don’t be ungrateful. Raise your arms and praise your Father! I praise Him every moment in Heaven. The Angels and Saints never tire to praise Him, because they feel his love every time and rejoice always. In this world, may you never leave to praise Him. So, you will feel the joy of Heaven in your hearts. And after death, this joy will continue there. Glorify Him every day, even if life remains the same and nothing happens. And you will see that you don’t depend on material things to be happy. You only depend on God who created all creatures to be happy. May your mornings be filled by the praise and your nights be filled with thankfulness. Every day, God makes the sun rises for you. Say: 'Glory to God!’ He gives the food, water, air. Say: 'Praise be Jesus!' God helps you during the day and protects you during the night. Say: 'Blessed be the Lord!’ Because only the person who recognizes the goodness of the Father is near Him and deserves to be helped in the needs. The gratitude always attracts more graces. Therefore, praise, praise, praise. Thank, thank, thank. Glorify, glorify, glorify for each day of life that the Father gives to you. Each day is a great grace and a great opportunity to you to do something for God in this world. Your lives need to be built day after day and not thinking about tomorrow. Give value to each day, because you don’t know until when you will be here in this world. But many people don’t value their own life and don’t respect the lives of others. You are building your lives as houses on the sand and on the mundane things. Therefore, they are routine and empty. Build your lives on the rock that is Jesus Christ, because problems and storms will come for try to overthrow you. Only on the rock that is Jesus you will remain firm. With Him, you will not be anxious nor worried, because in God is the peace that you both wish. And only in Him is the happiness that you both want."
