Offertory Prayer in Tagalog
Aming mapagmahal na Diyos,
Maraming salamat sa lahat ng pagpapalang natatanggap namin araw-araw. Ang bawat biyaya na aming tinatamasa ay nagmumula sa Inyong kabutihan at kagandahang-loob. Sa oras na ito, buong pusong iniaalay namin ang aming handog bilang tanda ng aming pasasalamat at pagtitiwala sa Inyo.
Pagpalain Mo po ang mga kaloob na ito upang magamit sa pagpapalaganap ng Inyong gawain. Nawa’y ito’y makatulong sa simbahan, sa aming kapwa, at sa sinumang nangangailangan. Ipaalala Mo po sa amin na ang tunay na kayamanan ay hindi nasusukat sa materyal na bagay kundi sa pagmamahal at paglilingkod sa Inyo.
Basbasan Mo rin po ang bawat isa sa amin na nagbigay nang bukal sa puso. Turuan Mo kaming maging tapat na katiwala ng mga pagpapalang ipinagkaloob Mo. Nawa’y maging daluyan kami ng Inyong biyaya upang patuloy naming maipakita ang Inyong pag-ibig sa mundo.
Lahat ng ito’y aming idinadalangin sa pangalan ni Hesus. Amen.
