Thanks be to God for Our Freedom from Sin in Him!

The preface for the Mass can be such a beautiful opportunity for reflection, drawing us deeper into the Eucharist and our lives as Christians. Thanksgiving Day is no exception:

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through Christ our Lord.

You have entrusted to us
the great gift of freedom,
a gift that calls forth
Responsibility and commitment
to the truth that all have a fundamental dignity before you.
In Jesus, through his Death and Resurrection,
we find our ultimate redemption,
freedom from sin,
and every blessing.
And so, with hearts full of love,
we join the angels, today and every day of our lives
to sing your glory ….

Thanks be to God for our freedom in Christ, liberating us from the permanence of sin and death …
