POWERFUL THANKSGIVING OFFERING TO OUR LORD;

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the

 Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and

 ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Good and gracious God, we come before You today united

 with all who give You thanks and praise. Fill us with gratitude

 and Your many blessings, physical and spiritual.

We thank You in particular this day for the gifts of good and family.

Bless the food, Lord, that it may nourish our bodies.

 Bless our family, especially those who can’t be with us today.

 Also today, we remember those of our family who

 have gone to be with You.

Grant us Your spiritual blessings and help us pray daily for

 the grace to serve You in response to Your bountiful gifts to us.

 Bless all who serve You throughout the world.

We pray this in the name of Jesus, Your Son, our Lord,

who gives all things freely according to our needs. Continue

 to bless us and give us Your peace. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the

 Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and

 ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
