2014 Thanksgiving Prayer Contest November 18, 2014 at 11:25am As we prepare our hearts for the Thanksgiving holiday, we invite you to share with us your own original prayer of thanks to the Lord. How do you give thanks to God? What things are you thankful for? Heres one example of a prayer of Thanksgiving: Loving Father of the human family, we give you thanks for the gift of life, family, and friends. We praise you for the gift of faith and the promise of life eternal. Even as we thank you for countless blessings received, we also lift up to you all who suffer in body or spirit, especially those affected by natural disasters, wars, or destitute conditions at home or abroad. Loving Father, show us how to express our gratitude by lives of humble, generous service to all in need, especially the least of our brothers and sisters. On this day when our nation renews its faith in you, strengthen our resolve to work for justice and peace, an end to violence or racism of any kind, anywhere. May we truly live as your grateful sons and daughters. We pray in Jesus name. Amen. You can submit your prayer of Thanksgiving by leaving a comment below before noon EST on Wednesday before Thanksgiving (November 26). The Archdiocese of Detroit Social Media Team will select one prayer to post on our social media channels over the Thanksgiving weekend (November 27-30). Aim for a brief and memorable prayer to share with the community of faith on social media. We look forward to praying with you this Thanksgiving! Taken from : on.fb.me/1uDkCx1
