Thanksgiving Prayer

By Cesar T. Taguba

God of our fathers,

our help in ages past,

our hope for the years to come,

our shelter from the stormy blast

and our eternal home.

As we come to the end

of our successful and joyous

Igorot/Cordillera consultation,

we offer our prayers of thanksgiving

for the blessings of life and fellowship.

It was your presence that forged our unity

and inspired us to dream dreams for ourselves,

for our families and the larger community.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be

Instruments for peace and justice.

We give special thanks for Dono who is celebrating

her 50th birthday anniversary.

We are grateful for her life of service to others.

May you continue to inspire and guide her

To play her role as a mother and a community leader,

May her family continue to be a source of strength

for other families especially those in need.

Be with us as we look forward to an evening

of joyous celebration of life through our songs, chants, dances.

Bless our endeavor to build

A community of concern and solidarity.

The Lord bless us and keep us

The Lord make his face to shine upon us

And give us peace

Now and forevermore.

In Jesus name.

AMEN.
