A Race was organised for children with disability.As they ran for the winning tape,a boy tripped ,and fell.All the others stopped running and went to his help.The prize for them was the joy of the occasion ,and the friendship of the moment .There are basket full of blessings every moment of our lives,but we don’t notice.We are not aware.Nine ,forgot to say Thanks in to days Jesus Story.The one who did say ‘Thanks’was not regarded as religious.God’s gifts are bigger than any religion.God’s blessings include all religions.The Thank You Prayer at Mass is not just praise of God,but also the warming of our human hearts with generosity.

‘’We Thank You,God Our Father .You made us to live for You,and for each other.We can see and speak to one another,become friends,share our joys and sorrows,and so Father we gladly thank You,and with everyone who believes in You,with all the Saints and Angels we rejoice and praise You,as we say ‘’Holy,Holy,Holy,Heaven and Earth are full of Your Glory,Hosanna in the Highest.Blessed is He who comes in the name of The Lord,Hosanna in the Highest.
