Wishing You a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing You a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving! | Ignatius Insight

Dear Readers:

Thanksgiving is a time-honored and cherished American tradition, rooted in the Christian belief that God is the source of all life and goodness, deserving our humble thanks and praise.

Here is a selection of thoughts and prayers from some Ignatius Press books and authors about thanksgiving and gratitude. They have helped me to reflect more deeply on the importance and necessity of thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy them.

Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

A Psalm for the thank offering:

"Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the lands!

"Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!

"Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name!

"For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations."

- From Psalm 100 (99), in the Ignatius Bible, RSVCE
