Father Jacque Philippe from his book Fire & Light highlights this practice so beautifully below.
Gratitude is another very powerful attitude for attracting the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Gratitude is another very powerful attitude for attracting the grace of the Holy Spirit.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux offers this testimonial to it:
“It is the spirit of gratitude which draws down upon us the overflow of God’s grace… for no sooner have we thanked Him for one blessing than He hastens to send us ten additional favors in return. Then, when we show our gratitude for these new gifts, He multiplies His benedictions to such a degree that there seems to be a constant stream of divine grace ever coming our way. This has been my own personal experience; try it out for yourself and see. For all that Our Lord is constantly giving me, my gratitude is boundless, and I try to prove it to Him in a thousand different ways.”
Under its light and even humorous surface, this passage reveals a profound truth: gratitude opens us to the gifts of grace. Not that it makes God more generous—(for he is fully so), —but it makes us more open and receptive to His love. Gratitude turns our gaze away from ourselves and directs it fully toward Him.
Gratitude is very fruitful because it is a sign that we have really understood and welcomed the love of God, and it puts us in a position to receive even more. “For to him who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not [who does not realize what he has already received], even what he has will be taken away,” Jesus says (Mt 13:12).

Love is drawn to love. Gratitude is an extremely efficacious attitude of receptivity, while ingratitude, complaint, jealousy, and defensiveness close our hearts and deprive us of God’s gifts.
