Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude to God, our Creator and Provider, whose guidance and care go before us...
and whose love is with us forever.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the changes, to remember that we, too, grow and change from one season of life to another.

Thanksgiving is a time...

PRAYER FOR PEACE
Almighty and eternal God,
may our grace enkindle in all of us a love
for the many unfortunate people
whom poverty and misery reduce to
a condition of life unworthy of human beings.
Arouse in the hearts of those
who call you Father,
a hunger and thirst for justice and peace

A MORNING OFFERING
O Jesus, I come before you at the beginning of this day.
I gaze at your face,
I look upon your side
pierced by the lance.
Your wounded heart speaks to me
of God’s love poured out for us.
Take, Lord, and receive my heart;
the words of faith that I speak,
the works of justice t...

GOD IS THE FRIEND OF SILENCE
We need to find God,
and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence.
See how nature - trees, flowers, grass,
grows in silence;
see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence.
We need silence to be able to touch soul...

O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing,
I adore You, I love You, and with a lively sorrow for my sins,

and wholly obedient to Your will.

Lord you left your Mother in our midst that she might accompany us.
May she take care of us and protect us on our journey, in our hearts, in our faith.
May she make us disciples like herself, missionaries like herself.
May she teach us to go out onto the streets.
May she teach us to step outs...

May the glory
and the promise
of this joyous time of year
bring peace
and happiness to you
and those you hold most dear.
And may Christ,
Our Risen Saviour,
always be there by your side
to bless you
most abundantly
and be your loving guide.

The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known 
that anyone who fled to thy protection, 
implored thy help, 
or sought thy intercession, 
was left unaided. 
Inspired by this confidence 
I fly unto thee, 
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. 
To thee do I come, 
before thee...

A Prayer for the Journey
May God support us all the day long,
‘Til the shades lengthen,
And the evening comes,
And the busy world is hushed,
And the fever of life is over
And our work is done.
Then in His mercy,
May He give us a safe lodging,
And a holy rest, and peace at the last.
Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile,...

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world...

As the sun rises, Lord,
Let your light shine on me.
Destroy the darkness about me,
Scatter the darkness before me,
Disperse the darkness behind me,
Dispel the darkness within me.

Let your light shine on me.
As the sun rises, Lord,
Let your light shine on me.
The warmth of your Presence,...
