Lord, your goodness never fails,
you shower your graces
on all those who recognize and accept you
as God, as Master and as Father.
You give them as their inheritance
everything that Jesus possesses, as man and as God.
You settle them in your own domain.
On earth, you give them the Holy Spirit as their guide;
in heaven, you reserve for them a fullness of joy,
happiness and satisfaction.
One day, you will fill them with love,
you will place them at the heart of the Trinitarian family,
you will entrust them to Mary,
you will see to it that they are completely fulfilled.
Lord, I give you thanks
for choosing me to be one of your own.
I give you thanks for Life,
which permeates my being like a beneficial rain.
Deeply marked by your presence,
I reiterate my gratitude to you. Amen.
Prayer, Father Louis-Marie Parent, O.M.I.
