For Giving Thanks to God

Entrance Antiphon (Eph 5: 19-20)
Sing and make music to the Lord in your hearts,

always thanking God the Father for all things

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Collect
O God, who always listen mercifully

to your servants in distress,

we humbly beseech you, as we give thanks for your kindness,

that, free from all evil,

we may constantly serve you in gladness.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever.

O Lord, who gave us your Son

to rescue us graciously from death and from every evil,

which we offer you in thanksgiving

for our deliverance from distress.

Through Christ our Lord.

I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart,

for you have heard the words of my mouth.

Almighty God, who through this Bread of Life

are pleased to free your servants from the bond of sin

and in your compassion to restore their strength,

grant us to advance without hindrance towards the hope of glory.

Through Christ our Lord.
