THANKSGIVING PRAYER AT THE START OF A NEW YEAR

Almighty Father in Heaven,
Creator of all
and source of all goodness
and love,
please look kindly upon us
and receive our heartfelt gratitude
in this time of giving thanks.

Thank you Lord
for the Blessed Virgin Mary
for her motherly care,
prayers and help,
for the intercession and
assistance of the saints,
for the protection and
guidance of the angels.

Thank you for all the graces and blessings
You have bestowed upon us,
spiritual and temporal:
our faith and religious heritage,
our food and shelter,
our health,
the love we have for one another,
our family and friends.

Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity,
please grant us continued graces
and blessing throughout the coming year.

This we ask through Jesus Christ,
Your Son and our Lord.

Amen.
