All Saints Day 2017

1. Almighty God, we thank you that in Your great love
You have fed us with spiritual food and drink of
the body and blood of Your Son Jesus Christ,
and have given us a foretaste of Your heavenly
banquet. Grant that this sacrament may be to
us a comfort in affliction, and a pledge of
our inheritance in that kingdom where there
is no death, neither sorrow nor crying, but
the fullness of joy with all Your saints…
A Communion Prayer (BCP)

4. What about us, then? We have such a great cloud
of witnesses all around us! What we must do is this:
we must put aside each heavy weight, and the sin
which gets in the way so easily. We must run
the race that lies in front of us, and we must
run it patiently. We must look ahead to Jesus.
He is the one who carved out the path,
and he’s the one who brought it
to completion.
Hebrews 12:1-2a (KNT)

5. He knew that there was joy spread out
and waiting for him. That’s why he
endured the cross, making light
of its shame, and has now
taken his seat at the right
hand of God’s throne.
Hebrews 12:2b (KNT)

10. Almighty God, You have surrounded us with a great
cloud of witnesses: Grant that we, encouraged by
the good example of Your servants, may persevere
in running the race set before us, until at last
we may with them attain to Your eternal joy,
through Jesus Christ, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.
A Prayer For The Departed (BCP)

11. Eternal Lord God, You hold all souls in life:
Give to Your whole Church in paradise and on earth
Your light and Your peace; and grant that we,
following the good examples of those who have
served You here and are now at rest, may at
last enter with them into Your unending joy
and share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ
our Lord who lives and reigns with You, in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God…
A Prayer For The Departed (BCP)

12. God of the generations,
when we set our hands to labor,
thinking we work alone,
remind us that we carry
on our lips, the words of prophets,
in our veins, the blood of martyrs,
in our eyes, the mystics’ visions, and
in our hands, the strength of thousands.
A Prayer For All Saints Day,

22. Hear, O Israel:
the Lord our God, the Lord is one;
you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all your mind,
and with all your strength.’
And:
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment
greater than these.”
Mark 12
