Prayer

All Saints Day and All Souls Day

All Saints' Day, also called All Hallows' Day, Hallowmas, or Feast of All Saints, in the Christian church, a day commemorating all the saints of the church, both known and unknown, who have attained heaven. 

Prayer for All Saints Day

They left their mark on the earth for you, for us, for our children to come. Thank you, God, for the tremendous sacrifices made by those who have gone before us. Bless the memories of your saints, God. May we learn how to walk wisely from their examples of faith, dedication, worship, and love.

All Souls' Day 

On this day, we pray that all those who have died, our loved ones, and also those people around the world who we will never meet, through the mercy of God, will rest in peace.

Prayer

God is the reward of all the saints. Let us joyfully call upon him:

Lord, save your people.

O God, through your Son Jesus Christ you built your Church on the foundation of the apostles, keep their teaching secure among your faithful people. 

Lord, save your people.

You made the martyrs powerful witnesses even to the point of giving up their lives, help all Christians to give faithful witness to your Son.

 Lord, save your people.

You gave holy virgins the gift of imitating the virginity of Christ, may those consecrated to virginity be steadfast witnesses to the coming of your kingdom. Lord, save your people.

Your saints now see you face to face, keep alive in our hearts the hope of coming at last into your presence. 

Lord, save your people.

Bring all who have died into the company of heaven with Mary, Joseph and all your saints, and give us also a place in the unending fellowship of your Kingdom.

Lord, save your people. 

Amen.
