A Prayer of Thankfulness to God, the Giver of Words, by St. Francis of Assisi

A Prayer of Thankfulness to God, the Giver of Words

Heavenly Father, today we give thanks for who You are and the glory of all that You have created, including the gift of communication. May our words reflect Your glory and help bring about Your Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.

Wherever we are, in every place,

At every hour, at every time,

Every day and continually, 

Let all of us truly and humbly believe, 

Hold in our heart, 

Love, honor, adore, serve, praise

Bless, glorify, exalt, magnify

And give thanks to the Most High

And Supreme Eternal God,

Trinity and Unity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:

To Him who is Creator of all,

Savior of all,

Without beginning or end,

Unchangeable, invisible,

Indescribable, ineffable,

Incomprehensible,

Unfathomable, blessed,

Praiseworthy, glorious, exalted,

Sublime, most high, gentle,

Lovable, delightful and, above all else,

Desirable, for ever and ever.
