A Prayer of Thanksgiving

by Thom M Shuman, lectionaryliturgies.blogspot.com

​

You have blessed us with saints all of our lives, God of the ages: those who put up with us, and those who prepared us for discipleship; those who have touched us with their compassion, and those who illumine the way for us.

​

Through the valleys and over the hills, down the dusty streets of every village, saints traveled with you, Jesus, Child of grace and glory: those who impetuously chased after you, and those whose feet longed to turn back; those who jostled for your attention, and those who made sure little children were able to meet you.

​

You surround us with saints, even when we don't recognize or much less appreciate them, Spirit of wonder: some live down the corner from us, while others are on the other side of the world; some run to catch the leaves spiraling to the ground, while others make a meal for a sick neighbor's family.

​

For all the saints of every age, especially ours, we give you our gratitude and praise, God in Community, Holy in One. Amen
