Prayer of Thanksgiving


The world is alive with your goodness, O God,
it grows green from the ground
and ripens into the roundness of fruit.
Its taste and its touch
enliven my body amd stir my soul.
Generously given
profusely displayed
your grsaces of goodness pour forth from the earth.
As I have received
sp free me to give.
As I have been granted
so may I give.

-- J Philip Newell, "Tuesday Morning Prayer", from Celtic Benediction: Morning and Night Prayer
