EUCHARISTIA MEANS
"THANKSGIVING"
Father, may we always remember to be thankful for everything
you have given us. Life itself is a gift from you. Most of all, thank
you for the gift of your Son to save us from our sins. Let us be
thankful and praise you in all things, especially when we encounter
His real presence in Word and Sacrament.
Pray without ceasing.
In all circumstances give thanks,
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

They picked up the fragments left over—
seven baskets full.
