Catholic Prayer: Prayer of Thanksgiving

Description:

After prayers of petition, we must remember to pray in thanksgiving for all favors received.

This prayer can be said in conjunction with the novena to St. Isidore the Farmer, feast day May 15 in the USA.

Although taken from a separate booklet, this novena was also included in the lovely prayerbook The Rural Life Prayerbook, written and compiled by Alban J. Dachauer, S.J. and printed by the National Catholic Rural Life Conference in 1956 (and recently reprinted by TAN Books).

Prayer:

O God, of Whose mercies there is no number, and of Whose goodness the treasure is infinite; we render thanks to Your most gracious majesty for the gifts You have bestowed upon us, evermore beseeching Your clemency, that as You grant the petitions of them that ask You, You will never forsake them, but will prepare for the reward to come. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
