“O benevolent and beneficient God: When you sent the Word of truth and the sanctifying Spirit into this world, you revealed the great mystery of your godhead. So now, on this, the beginning of another Thanksgiving holiday, and as the darkness of night overtakes us, teach us how to be truly grateful for all we have been given. Let the brilliance of your divine light illumine our lives and lead us to know, love, and serve you in the Spirit and the Truth of Christ. For you are indeed our God, and we give you glory, three divine persons, eternal in glory, one God, incomparable in majesty: now and forever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.” (From New Skete’s Thanksgiving Vespers)
