Catholic Thanksgiving Day Prayer


Happy Thanksgiving!

Let us remember to thank God today for the many blessings we have received. Remember to say a special Blessing before your Thanksgiving meal today. If you have no other commitments volunteer to help serve Thanksgiving dinner at a place that is serving the poor. Or, if you are hosting a dinner, invite friends or family who have nowhere else to go.

Today is an appropriate day to add to our prayers the collect prayer from the Votive Mass of Thanksgiving:

O God of Whose mercies there is no number, and of Whose goodness the treasure is infinite: we render thanks to Thy most gracious Majesty for the gifts Thou hast bestowed upon us, always beseeching Thy clemeny; that as Thou grantest the petitions of them that ask Thee, Thou wilt prepare them for the greater rewards that still await them.
