Here’s
a prayer of intercession and thanksgiving from the Christian Brothers of the Midwest.
Prayer of Intercession:
In Gratitude to You, O Lord
God
of the living,
with
all Your creatures great and small
we
sing Your bounty and Your goodness,
for
in the harvest of land and ocean,
in
the cycles of the seasons,
and
the wonders of each creature,
You
reveal Your generosity.
Teach
us the gratitude that dispels envy,
that
we may honor each gift as You cherish Your creation,
and
praise You in all times and places.
That
this day may be holy, good and joyful:
we pray in gratitude
to You, O Lord.
That
we may offer to You our worship and praise along
with
the work of our hands, minds and hearts:
we pray in gratitude
to You, O Lord.
That
we may strive for the well-being of all creation:
we pray in gratitude
to You, O Lord.
That
in the pleasures and pains of life,
we
may know the love of Christ and be thankful:
we pray in gratitude
to You, O Lord.
That
we may be bound together by Your Holy Spirit,
in
communion with all Your holy ones,
entrusting
one another and all our life to Christ:
we pray in gratitude
to You, O Lord.
That
we may always and everywhere give thanks to You, O God,
for
all of our blessings and giftedness:
we pray in gratitude
to You, O Lord.
