All Souls’ Day

Reflection

“I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” —John 11:25-26

Prayer

God of eternal love,

We come before you in gratitude for the lives of those we remember today, those whose deaths we mourn yet live on in our hearts and memories. We recall with joy the contribution they made to our lives and the lives of all those they touched. Their purpose-filled lives remind us of the importance of our own calling, and the opportunity to influence the lives of others. Hold them close to you and guide us as we strive to carry their legacy forward in the spirit of your compassion. May we live as they lived—rooted in love, committed to service, and ever mindful of your purpose for us. Through your enduring grace, we pray. Amen.
