Nathaswaram music: (Sandal paste and Kumkum)

With a jubilant march let us enter into our prayer hall with the rhythm of nathaswaram music.

Angelus: Once again a very warm welcome to the second part of our celebration. Let us now dispose
ourselves to praise and thank the Lord and our Blessed Mother Mary for the marvels they work in our lives.

Angelus song:

Intro: Gracious and loving God, source of all life and giver of every good gift, we come before you with hearts full
of thanksgiving. As we reflect on the past months of our lives, we remember if the countless ways in which your
presence has sustained us, guided us, and filled our hearts with joy.

God of compassion and mercy, we thank you for the gift of life, and for the journey that each one of us
traveled over the past months. In moments of joy, you have rejoiced with us, and in moments of sorrow you have
held us close, you have walked beside us through every triumph and trial, never abandoning us or forsaking us.

Loving God, we lift up these prayers of gratitude, knowing that you hear and cherish each one. We thank you
for the experiences, the lessons, and the relationships, that have enriched our lives over the past months. May we
carry forward the blessings of these past months with hearts full of gratitude and minds open to the possibilities of
the years ahead.

Wedding garment: On this Thanksgiving Day, let us turn our hearts and mints to the theme of our gratitude day
“Go and invite everyone to the wedding banquet” The wedding garment is necessary and mandatory for any Jewish
marriage. This wedding garment is a Biblical metaphor that represents the spiritual preparation for our salvation.
This wedding garment is a symbol of righteousness, salvation, holiness, joy, and celebration.

As we believe we are called to wear spiritual garments of righteousness to prepare for heavenly feast. This
wedding garment signifies honor, dignity, and festivity to all who wear it. Now we invite Sr. Virgin to cloth our
Superior with the garment and to invite her for the banquet.

We invite our dear Superior to cloth all our community Sisters with the garment and to invite them to the banquet.
