WITH THANKS AND GRATITUDE
As director of the Providence College Parent & Family Program, I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy Thanksgiving. Fr. Mark Nowel, Associate Provost for Academic Policy and Mission Support, as well as a dear friend and colleague, has prepared a special prayer of thanksgiving for PC families, that I am pleased to share with all of you.
God Bless,
Jackie
“Good and gracious God, as we look around us, we see so many signs of your providential care: in the beauty of autumn, in the faces of our family and friends, in the warm memories of family members who have bequeathed us so much. We realize once again that dedicating a single day to express our gratitude to you is a mere drop in the bucket.
Help us to open our eyes each day to the blessings you shower upon us and enable us to live lives full of gratitude to You, for our family and friends, for our freedoms, for our faith in You, and for the hope we have in Your providence as you walk by our side on our journey. We ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
