My prayers are with each of you on this All Souls Day, especially with those who have lost loved ones, friends, coworkers, and companions of all kinds this past year. May our Healing God comfort you. May the memory of every life that touched yours be a blessing forever. Amen.
All Souls Prayer
Holy One, Creator of all,
today we pray in gratitude for every life that has gone before us.
For those who were faithful, we bless you.
For those who were searching, we praise you.
For those who were lost, we implore you.
We remember those who have recently died:
the terminally ill, those we lost suddenly,
those with cancer, those with COVID,
the lonely, the suicidal,
the young, the middle-aged, the old.
For every life, we thank you.
For every life, we praise you.
For every life, we bless you.
Amen.
