Prayer of Thanksgiving
and Intercession:
All Saints
Holy One,
Creator of all
To You, we give thanks
To You, we give thanks
For every
blessing, for You
Are generous, O lover of souls.
Form within us,
Wisdom,
Sustained and nurtured by your
Holy Spirit
That we might,
have the grace to listen
deeply
and respond with compassion
May we be filled with gratitude
For every gift of life,
For family, friends,
And the Saints who have gone before us.
From those who are peacemakers,
May we learn, and follow their example
From those who are pure in heart
May we become likewise, Christ-like.
Holy One, Creator of all
To You, we give thanks
For every blessing, for You
Are generous, O lover of souls.
For those who suffer, we ask for comfort
For those who are ill, we ask for healing
For those who struggle, we ask for peace
For those who worry, we ask for guidance
For those who are anxious, we ask for solace
For those who are hungry, may we give food
For those who are homeless, may we provide shelter
For those who are poor, may we bring sustenance
For all the worries and cares of this earth,
May we be your heart and hands
May we be generous as You.
Holy One, Creator of all
To You we give thanks for every blessing,
for You are generous, O lover of all.
God of every nation, tribe, people, and language,
God of all creation, this great multitude of life
We give you thanks.
Bless us, that we may be a blessing in return.
Amen
