A Grateful Heart...

We have so much to be thankful for. Our diocesan office recently sent this prayer to all the principals, and I wanted to share it with you - it's a very timely prayer!

Thanksgiving Litany 2008

In a time of financial insecurity,
we are grateful because we have the security of our faith.

In a time of world turmoil,
we are grateful that we have chosen the ways of peace.

In a time of grave injustice,
we are grateful that we been called to promote justice.

In a time of despair,
we are grateful that we know the virtue of hope.

In a time of uncertainty when the fire of hate and fear is fueled again,
we are grateful to hold on to charity.

May this time become a Kairos moment, a critical moment when we all turn towards a deeper understanding of solidarity and security.

May all our sisters and brothers receive your gifts and may we all share
the abundance of your Love.

Jane Deren, 2008, Education for Justice
