Thanksgiving Day Prayer

Dear Lord,

On this day we set aside to thank you,
Accept our offering of gratitude,
no matter how impure,
for you are the ultimate source
of all our joy,
our contentment,
our prosperity,
our hope.

Without you, we are but dust.

Thank you for those moments we have to love you
and to share your love with those around us,
to share our goods to those who need,
to share our concern and our sorrow,

Thank you for coming to us in the Eucharist.

Thank you most especially for choosing to join us,
suffer with and for us,
to die for us.

Help us to come to love you more and more,
and reflect your beauty on this sad, peaceless world
more and more each day.

Amen.
