Cuando damos gracias a Dios, estamos permitiendo que el Espíritu Santo, que habita en nuestros corazones desde el día del Bautismo, se exprese a través de nosotros del modo más adecuado. "El Espíritu Santo, enseña Juan Pablo II, está en el origen de la oración que refleja del modo más perfecto la relación existente entre las Personas divinas de la Trinidad: la oración de glorificación y de acción de gracias... Esta oración estaba en boca de los Apóstoles el día de Pentecostés, cuando anunciaban 'las maravillas de Dios' (Hch 2,11). Lo mismo acaeció en la casa del centurión Cornelio cuando, durante el discurso de Pedro, los presentes recibieron el 'don del Espíritu Santo' y 'glorificaba a Dios' (Hch 10,45-47)".Jesús manifestó su sorpresa cuando sólo uno de los diez curados volvió para darle las gracias: "¿No han quedado limpios los diez?; los otros nueve, ¿dónde están?" "Ciertamente, dice S. Máximo De Turín, correspondemos a los beneficios divinos cuando confesamos haberlos recibido. De otro modo, si cuando los recibimos callamos y los echamos en olvido, por ingratos e indignos de tanta generosidad, nos privamos de la oportunidad de recurrir en la tribulación ante Dios cuyos beneficios no reconocimos, y pues no fuimos capaces de dar gracias en la prosperidad, quedamos incapacitados para acudir a Dios en la adversidad. Y así, por perezosos para alabar en tiempos de bonanza, habremos de llorar los peligros en tiempos de tormenta".La Iglesia nos enseña a dar gracias a Dios también cuando llegan las contrariedades, la enfermedad, y no vemos entonces la mano de Dios etiam ignotis, que ignoramos que también vienen de Él- que quiere otorgarnos un beneficio mayor como le sucedió a este leproso que, junto al beneficio de la curación, añadió el de la fe en Jesucristo: Levántate, vete; tu fe te ha salvado."Es justo y necesario, es nuestro deber y salvación, darte gracias siempre y en todo lugar, Señor" (Prefacio), pero especialmente en la Comunión Eucarística. "Te adoro con devoción, Dios escondido, le decimos a Jesús en la intimidad de nuestro corazón. En esos momentos, dice F. F. Carvajal, hemos de frenar las impaciencias y permanecer recogidos con Dios que nos visita. Nada hay en el mundo más importante que prestar a ese Huésped el honor y la atención que se merece". Consejo Espiritual “5 consejos sorprendentemente sencillos para volver a tus hijos más creativos” ¿Cómo estimular la creatividad de los niños? Psicólogos y especialistas en desarrollo infantil sugieren dejar de lado la ansiedad y el exceso de atención y dar más libertad a los niños para que ellos mismos descubran lo que realmente les interesa.“Ser adulto significa ocupar el propio tiempo con actividades que nos hacen felices. Y esto es lo que tienes que enseñar a tus hijos”, afirma Lyn Fry, psicóloga infantil de Londres, sobre el sentido de la preparación que los papás deben dar a los niños. zSegún el psicoanalista Adam Phillips, la “capacidad de aburrirse le permite al niño crecer”, ya que el tedio vuelve posible contemplar la vida y analizarla, en vez de pasar por ella sin parar a pensar sobre lo que sucede. Para él, los niños necesitan disponer de tiempo libre para descubrir lo que realmente les gusta y lo que más les interesa. El tedio es fundamental para ese descubrimiento.Cristiana De Ranieri, psicóloga clínica del Hospital Bambino Gesù, de Roma, ofreció a Aleteia algunos consejos útiles para estimular la creatividad de los niños.“Nuestros hijos, muchas veces, tienen una vida muy ocupada. La simple idea de que ellos puedan experimentar momentos de tedio y de vacío atemoriza a los papás. Los padres piensan que eso sería una señal de desatención, un no rellenar la vida de los niños. Pero si los niños tienen todo, ellos activan con menos frecuencia actividades cognitivas como el deseo, la curiosidad”. A continuación los consejos prácticos de la especialista: “Sí” al tedio-Tener la oportunidad de estar aburrido ayuda a tu hijo a crecer. Los momentos de tedio estimulan la mente a buscar algo que rompa la molestia, a encontrar algo interesante, estimulando así el deseo y, por lo tanto, colocando la mente en movimiento.--Cosas sencillas-Los niños se “recargan” haciendo cosas poco programadas, poco estructuradas, banales. ¿Un ejemplo? Jugar con el abuelo, pintar, redescubrir juegos viejos que estaban olvidados en un rincón… y hasta quedar varios minutos simplemente sin hacer nada.--No tener miedo al tiempo libre-El niño tiene una dimensión del tiempo diferente a la nuestra. Él acoge con interés los estímulos y los papás necesitan ofrecerles las condiciones para entender esos estímulos. Para ello, el tiempo libre es fundamental. ¿Qué te gusta hacer?-Es igualmente fundamental estimular al niño para que piense lo que le gustaría hacer. Esto lo impulsa a descubrir lo que le interesa, sin programaciones ni orientaciones previas.-Hacer cosas juntos-Muchos papás compran juguetes de todo tipo para sus hijos… Pero no juegan con ellos. Es necesario darles a los niños la oportunidad de estar con los papás también a la hora de jugar, compartiendo con ellos experiencias agradables..Inteligencia y estímulos. ¿El niño que entrena la mente de esa forma es más listo que los demás? La psicóloga observa: “No es la ‘cantidad’ de inteligencia lo que distingue a los niños, sino la activación de ‘gatillos emocionales’ o motivaciones diferentes. Ciertamente, estimular las actividades intelectuales y mentales diferentes es un incentivo para el desarrollo de una inteligencia más flexible y más activa”.Está claro que no se puede dejar al niño todo el tiempo sin hacer nada, o sólo haciendo lo que quiere. Los papás deben proporcionar a los hijos un amplio acceso a experiencias formativas y enriquecedoras, que incluyan actividades físicas, deportes en equipo, mucha vida en familia, mucha y generosa interacción con otros niños, convivencia con personas ancianas, contacto con animales de estimulación y con la naturaleza, incentivos al lenguaje y al aprendizaje espontáneo de idiomas, juegos que estimulen el conocimiento y el raciocinio, el contacto con la espiritualidad…Lo que no se puede es sobrecargar a los niños al punto de sofocarlos, privándolos del tiempo libre y… del tedio.
