Thanksgiving Prayer
Gracious and generous God,
We come before you today
with grateful hearts.
In the beauty and bounty of creation
we see the work of your hand;
in the loving faces around us
we know your own love for us.
May this meal nourish us and strengthen us,
so others may know your plenty
in our kindness,
and see your care and concern
in our witness.
Let us live true lives of gratitude,
as we pray in thanks to you, our God
who lives forever and ever. Amen.
Mass Intentions
Our calendar for Mass intentions is filled up through the
end of 2014. We are taking requests for 2015. If you have
a special date in mind for a Mass intention, it is best to
reserve it sooner rather than later.
