May this prayer open you to new possibilities: “Imagine the joy you can have!”

In a world of violence, hatred, and division, Jesus implores us to work for peace.

Love heals wounds and brings us closer to establishing the kingdom of God. But much stands in our way, despite our best efforts.

What does expressing gratitude really mean? May this prayer of thanks help you celebrate the multitude of blessings God has given you.
