Litany of Thanksgiving

November 13, 2023

O gracious and generous God, I thank you for the many blessings you have given me:

For the gift of life: I thank you, Lord.

For your steadfast love: I thank you, Lord.

For this astonishing, complex planet and all you have created: I thank you, Lord.

For faith and the example of your saints: I thank you, Lord.

For the Church and our family in faith: I thank you Lord.

For our families and friends: I thank you, Lord.

For health and for those who care for the sick: I thank you, Lord.

For food, warmth and shelter: I thank you, Lord.

For our nation, for freedom, security and peace: I thank you, Lord.

Lord, let me always be aware of your great kindness. In gratitude for your gifts, may I:

… respect all life

… care for creation

… tend the sick, the hungry, the homeless and the migrant

… work to create a just nation

… love my neighbor as you have loved me.

Amen
