Oh Lord, we praise you for the many gifts you give us each day;
from the moment we were a presence in our mother’s womb
to the grace-filled rise of the sun
to the blessing of Sacrament
to the night which ushers us rest.
Help us to grow in our living faith.
Guide us to serve as leaders to bring about holiness.
Bring us to share ourselves selflessly in all things
in a spirit of love of You.
In the Eucharistic banquet,
You give Yourself completely and entirely to us.
We give you our return, oh Lord,
with gratitude
knowing there is no measure
to the gift of the Cross
which brings us resurrection.
