Most Merciful Lord, gathering for this meal of thanksgiving we offer You, as our Creator, our thanks and praise.

You who teach us to love without limit.

You who teach us to forgive without counting the cost.

You who teach us to give without seeking return.

May we honour You through our words and actions every day, every moment.

May we worship You through our lives with others, lived in kindness and tender care.

May we fully realize what St. Faustina came to know.

That in our thankfulness, true earthly joy resides that in Your love for us we find the heavenly harvest that strengthens our souls, until we reside in You forever.

Praise and glory to You, Merciful Lord,
Now and forever.

Amen.
