Thanks for all your generosity

 

Lord Jesus,

You answered the Canaanite woman’s request

to cure her daughter.

With her we pray to you:

“Lord, come and help us.

Give us the bread of children!”

Save us, O Lord, because of your love!

 

Lord Jesus,

God of all tenderness

and of all mercy,

You who spent your time on earth doing good,

we pray to you:

Give to each of us our share of joy and happiness,

so that we can, on our road of life,

discover you love constantly,

bless and glorify you,

and arrive at perfect joy,

which is to live near your Father

with You and the Holy Spirit,

for ever and ever.

Amen!
