My reflection:
Opening prayer from Thanksgiving Mass:
God all-powerful, your gifts of love are countless and your goodness infinite; as we come before you on Thanksgiving day with gratitude for your kindness, open our hearts to have concern for every man, woman, and child, so that we may share your gifts and loving service. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen
