Prayer of Thanksgiving

O God, of Whose mercies there is no number,
and of Whose goodness the treasure is infinite;
we render thanks to Your most gracious majesty
for the gifts You have bestowed upon us,
evermore beseeching Your clemency,
that as You grant the petitions of them that ask You,
You will never forsake them,
but will prepare for the reward to come.
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Thanks for Family & Friends

Blessed are You, loving Father,
For all your gifts to us.
Blessed are You for giving us family and friends
To be with us in times of joy and sorrow,
To help us in days of need,
And to rejoice with us in moments of celebration.

Father,
We praise You for Your Son Jesus,
Who knew the happiness of family and friends,
And in the love of Your Holy Spirit.

Blessed are you for ever and ever.

Amen.

Prayer of Thanks for People

God of Love,
I thank You for the people in my life
who are easy to love.
I thank You for my family and friends
who understand my actions,
who support me in my decisions,
and whose presence can lift the burden of a thorny day.

Help me with those who are difficult to love.
When they come at me with criticism
and wild expectations,
when they ignore me
or try to bend me to their will,
let me recognize their flaws and their dangers.
But then let me remember your attitude toward them,
and lead me to see them
in the light of Your love.

Amen.

Daily Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O God, Who dost deign mercifully to bestow upon us
infinite treasures of love in the Heart of Thy Son,
which was wounded for our sins;
grant, we beseech Thee,
that we who pay Him the devout homage of our piety,
may in like manner show unto Thee
our due of worthy satisfaction.

Through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Passion of Christ, Strengthen Me

Passion of Christ, strengthen me!

Strengthen me under the pressure of temptation.

Strengthen me when principle is at stake.

Strengthen me to do Your Will, My God.

Strengthen me in moments of suffering,
in times of loneliness,
in periods of depression.

Strengthen me that I may never swerve from You, dear Christ,
nor weaken through human respect,
through a desire to be popular,
through hope of social distinction.

Strengthen me to accept my cross
and carry it generously to the end.

On the battlefield of life,
stand by me that I may never prove a traitor in the ranks.

Stand by me that I may not be dazzled
by the glitter and glow of the enemy camp.

Amen.
