VICAR

Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I wish You a happy and peaceful Bank Holiday Sunday. As I look out across the fields I can almost see the smiles on the local farmers’ faces, that perhaps we are in for a period of weather consistent that they can work around.

Today I give You a prayer of thanksgiving. Think of all the things for which You are thankful.

Have a wonderful day and good week to come.

Father in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly upon us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in this time of giving thanks.

Thank you for all the graces and blessings. You have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal: our faith and religious heritage. Our food and shelter, our health, the loves we have for one another, our family and friends.

Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us continued graces and blessing throughout the coming year.

This we ask in the Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Brother.

Amen.
