ALL SAINTS DAY PRAYER

 

Dear Father,

You have given the saints in heaven eternal happiness and they now live in the fullness of your glory. Because of their holy love for you, they also care about me and my family, my friends, my church, and my neighbors. Thank you for the gift of their friendship and the witness of their holy lives. I ask our patron saints and every saint who has become especially dear to me to intercede for us. I ask them to help us journey safely on the narrow path that leads to heaven. O Lord, give us their protection. Grant us their assistance in overcoming temptation and gaining the fullness of life with you.

Amen.

Prayer for All Souls Day

 

To be prayed starting Nov. 1 to Nov. 25 in all our masses for the eternal repose of the souls of our dearly departed.

PRAYER FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOULS

OF OUR DEPARTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Lord, listen to our prayers for our departed brothers and

sisters whose names we remember today. They have

always desired to do Your will, so in Your mercy, forgive

whatever wrong they have done.

By their faith, they were united with all Your believing

people. Now, in love and mercy, give them a place with

Your angels and saint. We ask this through Christ our

Lord, Amen.
