Take a moment to quiet yourselves in preparation for community prayer.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God, we ask for the grace to spend some time reflecting on the blessings we have enjoyed this week and thank You for each of them.
Let us begin by inviting the Holy Spirit to give us the clarity to view the week as God has viewed it.
There are many gifts God has given us that we take for granted every day or maybe don’t notice at all. Take a moment to call to mind those gifts and thank God for them.
Our world is filled with people less fortunate than us. What can you do to share some of God’s gifts with each of them?
Gratitude is often something we forget about during prayer. Sometimes we get so comfortable with the gifts we live with that we forget to thank God for him. Throughout the next week, spend a few seconds thanking God for all the blessings in your life.
Let us pray: Loving Father, we thank you for the many gifts in our life that we don’t notice and often take for granted. Let us ask that You grant us the clarity to see each of our blessings so that we can offer our gratitude for them. Thank you, Lord, for every gift You have given us; we are undeserving of Your blessings, yet You give them anyway. May we never forget all that You have done for us. Amen. Let us pray our closing response together: Good and gracious God, guide me today and always. St. Joseph, Pray for Us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
