Gratitude to the Prophet

How can I show gratitude to my Spiritual Father, to the Prophet of the Traditions? How does one show gratitude to someone who re-guided the trajectory of her bloodline that for generations has been led astray? From what I have learned of the Prophet, the means to showing gratitude towards him is to live a life that applies our ancestral principles and knowledge and continue to use this knowledge to refine myself and guide others to do the same. A Prophet has his disciples to continue his mission once he transitions. His disciples must perpetuate the knowledge and his mission to bring dignity back to humanity where we can live in harmony with the principles of nature.
