PRAYER FOR ALL SAINTS
Gracious God,
we thank you for all those who have served you well, and now rest from their labours. We thank you for all the saints remembered and forgotten, for those dear souls most precious to us. We thank you for their life and love and rejoice for them that all is well.
Lord God,
mindful of all those saints who have gone on ahead of us, teach us to follow their example to the best of our ability, to feed the poor in body or spirit, to support and comfort the mourners and the repentant, to encourage the meek and stand with them in crises, to affirm those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, to cherish and learn from the merciful, to be humbled by, and stand with, the peacemakers.
Let us recognize what it means to be called the children of God, and to know we are called to be your saints.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
