Thanksgiving.
MEDITATION
(Psalm 107:1) Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever."
“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.” (2 Corinthians 2:14–16)
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalm 100:1–5)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishments, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the occasions of sin. Amen.
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven, allowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day oudaily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
FINAL PRAYERS
Prayer for Divine Protection: No Weapon Formed Against Us Shall Prosper
Gracious and loving God, I come before you today to pray for the protection of my loved ones. As Your Word assures us, no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we shall condemn. So, I pray that You will encircle my loved ones with Your mighty protection.
Father, I pray that You will shield them from the fiery darts of the enemy. Protect them from physical harm, emotional hurt, and spiritual attacks. Guard their hearts and minds from fear, anxiety, and doubt. Give them the strength to resist the temptations of the world and to walk in Your ways.
Lord, I pray that You will place a hedge of protection around them and keep them safe from harm. I pray that You will send Your angels to watch over them and protect them wherever they go. May they find favor in the eyes of those they encounter, and may their paths be cleared of any obstacle that seeks to hinder their progress.
Father, I pray that You will guide them in their decisions and lead them in the path of righteousness. I pray that they will always trust in You and lean not on their understanding. May they seek Your wisdom in all things and follow Your will for their lives.
In Jesus' name, I pray for Your divine protection over my loved ones, and I declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Thank You for hearing my prayer, Lord. I trust that You will answer according to Your will. Amen.
