May our gratitude deepen our faith, strengthen our hope, and inspire us to love You and our neighbor more fully each day. Let our lives become a joyful witness to Your goodness, so that others may come to know and praise You.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose heart overflowed with praise in the Magnificat, Saint Joseph, faithful steward of God’s gifts, and Saint Francis of Assisi, whose life was marked by joyful gratitude and praise, may we always remember to give thanks in all circumstances and trust in Your loving providence.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us.
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
