Eternal God, the refuge and help of all your children, we praise you for all you have given us, for all you have done for us, for all that you are to us. In our weakness, you are our strength, in our darkness, you are light, in our sorrow you are comfort and peace We cannot number your blessings, we cannot declare your love: For all your blessings we bless you. May we live as in your presence, and love the things that you love, and serve you in our daily lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

St. Boniface
1 Praise the Lord!
    Let all that I am praise the Lord.
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
   I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
3 Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;
   there is no help for you there.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
   and all their plans die with them.
5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
   whose hope is in the Lord their God.
6 He made heaven and earth,
   the sea, and everything in them.
   He keeps every promise forever.
 Psalm 146 – New Living Translation
