If there is something that the world can learn from the Saints in French Polynesia, it is generosity and hospitality.5

Have the class sing or read Great and Marvelous Are Thy Works.Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord of hosts, almighty One!Earth and firmament speak thy praise, Thy name is written in the sun. Sing of his mighty love, for it is wonderful; Let his praise through all the earth resound; Honor and majesty now and forever be unto him alone, wherever man is found.

Prayer of thanksgiving:God of all blessings,source of all life,giver of all grace;We thank you for setting us in communities:for familieswho nurture our becoming,for friendswho love us by choice,for companions at work,who share our burdens and daily tasks,for strangerswho welcome us into their midst,for people from other landswho call us to grow in understanding,for childrenwho lighten our moments with delight,for the unborn,who offer us hope for the future.In Jesus name, Amen.
