Thanksgiving Prayer

Posted on November 20, 2019 in: News, Reflections

Heavenly Creator,

In this season of gratitude and abundance, we
give You thanks for our many blessings as we
pray for all who struggle with hunger and want.
Be with them in the dark of night, when all hope
seems lost. Keep their faith strong as they await
relief. Let Your goodness flow throughout our
hearts and hands as we reach out to one another
in the full, true joy of Thanksgiving in Christ.

Amen

Discovering the Meaning Behind the Symbols That Tell the Story of Our Catholic Faith The San Damiano Cross Few symbols are more closely associated with St. Francis of Assisi than the San Damiano Cross.
