Gracious Father, we thank You for giving us life and breath and all things on this first day of September 2020. Since You already know of all that will occur in it, both the difficult and delightful ones, the heart-warming and heart-breaking ones, we gladly and gratefully dedicate it to You in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, to accomplish what concerns our families, our friends, and ourselves, Israel – Your chosen people, the Church – Your cherished people, and Your world – made up of all the nations – to the praise of Your glory, both now and to the day of eternity! We love You Father for first loving us with unceasing, unchanging, unconditional, undying, unending, unfailing and unlimited love!
