Prayer of Gratitude and Love

Lord,
how good you are!
Our whole life is a gift from your hand.
We want to offer you
our grateful and undivided hearts.
We are ready to serve you
and to fulfil your holy will.
Grant us a love that is selfless,
ready for sacrifice,
a love that gives itself to the end.
We desire to live
according to the designs of your heart.
Let us see and fulfil the task
you have given us,
as a gift of your generous,
merciful and just love. Amen.

Mother Julia Verhaeghe
