The strength of Christian charity is to be able to love those whom we judge to be impossible to live with and who, in turn, consider us impossible to live with as well. - Emmanuel d'Alzon
Father all-powerful, your gifts of love are countless and your goodness infinite. We come before you this Thanksgiving with gratitude for your kindness, open our hearts to have concern for every man, woman and child, so that we may share your gifts in loving service. (Collect -Thanksgiving Day Liturgy)
