Prayer of Thanksgiving
Living Spirit, we give thanks for all that has been recorded in the gospels of all that Jesus performed in the presence of the apostles. We rejoice in the other signs too numerous to be written that Christ has given among your people, then and now: the healing of the sick, the peace that has been given to those who has been doubtful but wanting to believe. We exult in the fellowship of the risen Monarch and live in hope of the final triumph of your rule. Amen.
