Thanksgiving 2015 — A Prayer of Gratitude

O God, the beginning and the end of all things,
Who are always the same, and Whose promises fail not.
We kneel in adoration before You,
and offer You our deepest thanks for the fatherly care
with which You have watched over us during the past year,
for the many times You have protected us from evils of body and soul,
and for the numerous blessings, both temporal and spiritual,
which You have showered upon us.
Please accept the homage of our grateful hearts,
which we offer You in union with Your divine Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You
forever and ever. Amen.
