Faith

Solemnity of All Saints

On the feast of All Saints, we are asked to reflect on the lives of the saints. We can often think of saints as perfect people, but their greatest witness is how they coped with the ordinary difficulties of their life, and how they courageously showed the love of God to others.

Prayer.

Lord God,

We remember with love all those who have died. We ask the support of all your saints who by their persistence and example have shown us how to live and love in Your ways. Give us the strength to cope with the daily routines that wear us down. Help us to act as your witnesses when we respond to each other with love, not with impatience, carelessness, rudeness or fear. In your love, we can find our way forward into your promised heaven. We ask this together through Christ, our Lord, Amen. On the feast of All Saints, we are asked to reflect on the lives of the saints. We can often think of saints as perfect people, but their greatest witness is how they coped with the ordinary difficulties of their life, and how they courageously showed the love of God to others.
