Thank You, Jesus, for Suffering for Humanity
Good Father, I place all my trust in you. I bless you, praise you, glorify you, and give you thanks.
Thank you for faith, for your love and mercy, for the wonders you work each day in my life, and for the gift of life itself.
I am grateful for the people you have placed beside me and for the abilities you have given me. Thank you even for the difficulties that help me grow, take up the Cross with your Son, and draw closer to you.
Thank you for transforming my life, for looking upon me, and for taking hold of my weakness and helping me rise each day. Thank you for blessing my actions, my family, my work, and my friends.
Accept our gratitude, Father of love and mercy.
Thank you for turning my life into a canvas filled with light, life, and hope, with colors of confidence and joy. Thank you also for the small shadows that show me what I need to change and where I need to grow.
We Are Deeply Grateful, Jesus Crucified
Listen to my heart, Father, for you have given me Jesus Christ, your Son. His example is the mirror in which I see the path toward holiness.
Lord, you tell me to call upon you and that you will answer and show me great and hidden things I do not know. I call upon you now. Show them to me, Father, and reveal your presence in my life each day.
Help me leave behind a life that has become dull and routine. Let me be surprised by you each day, so that your grace may renew me and your mercy may lead me along new paths of holiness.
Father of goodness, you are the God of the impossible. Break open this vessel of clay that I am, which you yourself formed, so that the fragrance within may be poured out and rise to you.
May that fragrance also reach my neighbor, so that today and always I may be a true Christian who remains open to the wonders of your grace.
My soul thirsts for you, Lord.
Thank you, Jesus Christ.
