Remembering Our Departed Friends (All Soul’s Day)

Reflection
“On this mountain the Lord of host will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food, and choice wines, juicy, rich foods and pure choice wines. On that day it will be said: ‘Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us! This is the Lord to whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he saved us.’”
~Isaiah 25: 6, 9

Prayer
A blessing from the Apache Nation

May the sun bring you new energy every day, bringing light into the darkness of your soul. May the moon softly restore you by night, bathing you in the glow of restful sleep and peaceful dreams. May the rain wash away your worries and cleanse the hurt that sits in your heart. May the breeze blow new strength into your being, and may you believe in the courage of yourself. May you walk gently through the world, keeping your loved one with you always, knowing that you are never parted in the beating of your heart. Amen

Call to Action

Take a few moments today and hold closely in my heart those loved ones who have gone before me and remember the importance of their lives in this world.
