THANKSGIVING IN CANADA - 2020
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for the gifts of life, family, friends, and most of all, your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ - son of Mary who with her husband Joseph mentor us in our family life - Glory be to You O God in your Holy Spirit for ever and ever! Amen!
A Poustinik’s Prayer of Dedication
For the renewal of my journey into and from the Poustinia – October
11-12th, 2020 – Thanksgiving
Dedication of my service to the United
Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Most Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, by
the Father’s holy Will, you are united by the Holy Spirit in perfect love and
you look upon us with mercy and caring.
You inspire in our hearts – through the same openness to the Holy Spirit
– the same confidence you have in the Father’s love and the same eagerness to
obey Him.
Lord Jesus, with the prayer and love of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary to help us, I consecrate my heart, my life, my family,
my fraternal community, the great Family of the Madonna House Apostolate –
every parish community, leadership team, pastoral council, and fabrique – every
diocese, every baptized brother and sister, and my ministry to You.
We know the beautiful example of your
home in Nazareth – kept with love and devotion by Mary and Joseph – was meant
to be a model for each of us and for our families.
We hope to have, with your help, the unity
and strong, enduring love you gave to one another.
Mentor us in the ways we need to walk in
order to live as loving children of the Father – men, women, youth, and
children – especially those suffering from confusion in their sense of who they
are as human beings. Fill our homes with joy, and may we always be close to
your sacraments.
Bless those who are present, as well as
those who are absent, both the living and the dead; may your peace always dwell
among us. Bring to your gatherings of
faith everywhere all those You are drawing to yourself, and those who have
drifted away, or are lost, and especially – in person or virtually – all those
who are ill, homebound, disabled, or suffer in any way.
Grant your reconciliation to all those
who have taken offence on account of us, and grant us the grace of being
ambassadors of your reconciliation and peace. Keep us in communion with your United
Hearts; may your guiding light and protection be with us always.
United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, I trust
in you – hear our prayers.
Saint
Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family and Protector of Christ’s Mystical Body the
Church, walk with us through daily life in God’s Love, and lead us unceasingly
to the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Holy
Angels – especially our Guardian Angels – we bless and thank you for your
faithful and precious assistance. Keep us close to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and
far from evil ways.
Heavenly
Father, I trust in You. I offer You the
United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the Triumphant Bleeding Wounds of Jesus, and
the Tears of our Loving Heavenly Mother Mary.
Lord, your Will be done. Amen.
