Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the splendor of autumn, for the vibrant colors of the leaves, and the crispness in the air. This season reminds us of Your magnificent creation and the beauty that surrounds us here at Mary's beautiful sanctuary.

As the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, help us to appreciate the changes and find joy in the simple pleasures of this time. May the falling leaves remind us of the cycles of life and the importance of letting go and trusting in Your plan.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
