For those things for which we are most

thankful: the sweet comfort of Your Gospel,

the forgiveness of all our sins by the blood of

our Lord Jesus, the promise of our

resurrection to eternal life; for the joyful

companionship afforded by the Church; for

Your Word that is a lamp to our feet and light

to our path; for the gifts of Baptism and the

Eucharist; for our pastors and everyone who

faithfully serve to us Your best and highest

gifts: Glory to You, O Lord!
