Thanksgiving
Prayer
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 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 loves 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 in the Name of Jesus, Your Son
and our Brother. Amen.
October
16 World Food Day
A World Food Day has been promoted by
the Food and Agriculture Organization since 1981. The Church is concerned about
the issue of hunger in the world, remembering the words of the Son of Man on
the last judgement of the nations, “… I was hungry and you gave me food, I was
thirsty and you gave me something to drink …” (Mt 25.35).
