For many people, Thanksgiving is the most truly American of our national holidays, encompassing in its simple and beautiful traditions the highest ideals and greatest aspirations of our country. We believe that these ideals include the need to give thanks to our Creator and so we pray:

O Loving God, your gifts to us are countless and your goodness is without limit. As we come in thanksgiving to You this week, teach us to use the riches of land and sea and to be forever grateful for all the blessings which come from You. Open our hearts to notice and respond to the needs of others that we may give and freely as we have received form You.

With grateful hearts, we thank You this Thanksgiving Week for the many ways you sustain and nourish and protect us, through the gift of life itself, our faith, family and friends with surprises of joy, growth an unconditional love. We make this prayer through Jesus Your Son and the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thanksgiving Greetings and Blessings from the Assumption Family!
