(Year A, Jan 4. 2026)

“Heavenly Father, we come before you today with full of gratitude. Thank you for your countless blessings and your unwavering love. Thank you for the gift of life, for the air we breathe, and for the strength you give us each day. Your grace and mercy sustain us, and we are deeply grateful for your presence in our lives.

Thank you for our families, friends and the community you have surrounded us with. Thank you for providing for our needs and for guiding us with your wisdom. Even in times of trial, we thank you for the lessons and the growth that come from trusting in you.

Lord, may we never take your blessings for granted. Help us to remain mindful of your goodness and to share your love and kindness with each other. We praise your name and give thanks for all that you are and all that you do. Help us to live gratefully in your presence and with one another. Through Jesus, your Son, who is our light and our love. Amen.”
