Prayer and Deepest Sympathy

Today we celebrate All Saints Day (before All Souls Day tomorrow – Halloween)

This prayer has a particular resonance with me this year as I process my recent experience travelling in the Footsteps of St Paul.

Prayer for All Saints Day

Dear God,

thank you for the example of the Saints.

I desire to join in their company,

worshiping you forever in Heaven.

Please help me follow their footsteps,

and yours, Jesus Christ.

Please help me to conform myself to Your image,

seeking Your will in all things,

as the Saints did.

Please help me to devote myself,

and all that I do,

 to Your glory,

and to the service of my neighbors.

Amen.
