 Thanksgiving Happy Family Blessed Queen of the most Holy Family and Queen of chaste family life, I beg you to join me in thanking your divine Son for the abundant blessings bestowed upon our happy family. For the motherhood with which my marriage has been so graciously blessed, help me to thank him. For the protecting hand which has guarded us against the evils that might have befallen us; for the healing hand that has restored us in our sickness; for the consoling hand that has soothed us in our moments of sorrow; for the sustaining hand that has steadied us when trials weighted us down; for the joys that have so brightened our lives; and for the holy peace that has been granted to us, for these and all the precious blessings, spiritual and temporal, that have been bestowed upon us, I beg you to offer with us praise with thanksgiving. And for the future, Mary, I humbly trust in the gracious assistance of your Son, in your motherly intercession, for myself and for each member of my family. Speak to him, for us and with us, that his assistance may continue daily throughout life, and especially that it may be our great consolation and confidence in the hour of our death. Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, Teach us to be saints! catholicprayerbook.net - catholicprayerbook.net Page Background by: Cottontail Graphics |
