Prayers of thanksgiving

Kenetha Anglican rosary prayers, Prayer , ,

Giving thanks to God for our many blessings is always an appropriate thing to do, but it’s especially fitting during the Thanksgiving holiday. 

This set of prayers for an Anglican rosary are an adaptation of the Litany of Thanksgiving from The Book of Common Prayer (pp. 836-837). All text in italics below has been adjusted from the call and response format of the litany into individual prayers of thanksgiving.
