Gratitude and healing

[Original in Spanish]

GANDHI MONDINO

Gratitude is generally considered to be a thank-you that follows someone's giving of something to someone else. The expression of gratitude establishes a current of mutual appreciation between the giver and the receiver.

Christian Science brings us a different view—a more profound one—than that of merely being grateful for favors received. Mrs. Eddy writes: "Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech."^{Science and Health, p. 3;}

God is all-active Mind, which is unceasingly manifesting itself in spiritual ideas. In God's universe all is action; Mind is conscious of its own creation, man and the universe, which reflect the action of Mind. This constant action of divine Mind is not like human action—manifested at a given moment and later ceasing—for God is inexhaustible Mind, never knowing interruption, cessation, or decay.
