2 November 2019 - Prayers of the faithful - All Souls Day


Introduction: As we unite our prayers with the prayers of the saints during this month of remembrance, we present our prayers to God. 

1. For our friends and family members who have died, that they may rest in peace. We pray to the Lord. 

2. For those who have lost their lives through war or violence, that the tragedy of their deaths may make people work for peace and justice.  We pray to the Lord.  

3. For those who have died through accidents or suicide, that their loss may remind us of the sacredness and fragility of our lives here on earth.   We pray to the Lord.  

4. For those who are overcome by grief, that the power of Christ’s love may lift them up, heal them, and renew their hope.  We pray to the Lord.  

5. For those departed souls who have no one to pray for them, that they may always have the benefit of the prayers we offer in the Church for the faithful departed. We pray to the Lord.  

6. For all our relatives and friends who have gone before us in faith, may their spirit and prayers live within us.  We pray to the Lord.  

Conclusion: God of light and love, to live in your house is the desire of all your children.  Hear our prayers and help us in all our needs.  We ask these prayers through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord for ever and ever.
