General
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Catholic prayer
The traditional collect of thanksgiving, Deus cuius misericordiae non est numerus, used in the Roman books for a general act of thanks. It gives thanks for gifts already received and asks that God not forsake those He has heard.
O God, of Whose mercies there is no number, and of Whose goodness the treasure is infinite; we render thanks to Your most gracious majesty for the gifts You have bestowed upon us, evermore beseeching Your clemency, that as You grant the petitions of them that ask You, You will never forsake them, but will prepare for the reward to come. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
