God and the saints have been doing a lot of amazing things for me lately- they helped me with exams, they helped me have better adventures, they helped with a WHOLE lot of other stuff. I have a week off school this week, so I have time to do something special to thank them. I don’t think it makes sense just to go to Mass every day, because Mass is fun and I will try to do that anyway. What is a good way to thank them and make them extra happy?
 
Hmm - not sure you can make the saints happy.

Just learn to continue/continuously offer God praise and thanksgiving as prayer forms.
 
How about donating some of your time to the elderly? You could ask at your parish… about “home visiting” ministries. So many of them sit… day after day, just waiting. Isolated and lonely. I’m sure it would make Our Lord and the saints very happy, if you reached out to a lonely elderly person. God Willing… we’ll all be there one day. :o
 
First off, I’d send little “arrow prayers” up all the time just talking to and thanking Him and the Saints. Next, I’d make a Holy Hour - giving Him total adoration and praise (that’ll make the Saints happy, too). Then I’d ask your priest how you can help in the parish (depending on the time you have available).

Just my :twocents:
 
Would you be able to do anything like this?

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ (Mt 25:35-36)

Peace,

We see a lot of "In thanksgiving to Jesus, Mary or to vavious saints in the Mass intentions that are printed in the bulletin at our church, so you may want to have a Mass said in Thanksgiving.
 
Go back to the Old Testament and read the laws regarding “thank offerings.” Calculate the current cost of presenting a thank offering and send it to a Catholic charity, your parish building fund, St. Vincent dePaul Society or whatever. On no account show the offering on your tax return.
