Thanksgiving & Blessings Prayer




O God,
 the beginning and the end of all things, 
Who art always the same,
 and Whose years fail not,
 we now, at the close of another year,
 kneel in adoration before Thee,
 and offer Thee 
our deepest thanks for the fatherly care 
 with which Thou has watched over us during the past,
 for the many times Thou hast protected us 
from evils of soul and body,
 and for the numberless blessings, 
both temporal and spiritual,
 which Thou hast showered upon us. 
May it please Thee
 to accept the homage of our grateful hearts 
which we offer Thee
 in union with the infinite thanksgiving
 of Thy divine Son,
 our Lord Jesus Christ, 
Who with Thee
 liveth and reigneth forever and ever. Amen.

The Gift of Miracles

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.  Anne Lamott Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles. Samuel Smiles  Explore This Website

Recognize The Possibilities

“Only if you’ve been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”  Richard Nixon “You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”   Thomas Merton Explore This Website

Courage & Strength

“Courage isn't having the strength to go on  - it is going on when you don't have strength.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte~ “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.  If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing,  it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.  On the contrary,  if I have the belief that I can do it,  I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it  even if I may not have it at the beginning.”  ~Mahatma Gandhi~ That was exactly what I had experienced, when it comes to my study!  I had in many occasions needed to persuade, remind or even encourage myself in believing that "I can do it".  My motto was that "I have no knowledge of this subject, I am here to learn!".  After going through the ups and downs plus nearly two years off study; in September this year I finally graduated.
