Here’s a prayer for All Saints Eve inspired by Hebrews 12: 1 written by Christine Sine in 2009 and posted on her excellent website, Godspace.
Prayer for All Saints Eve
(based on Hebrews 12: 1)
God we are surrounded by a cloud
Faithful witnesses who have gone before
Those who have loved where we would have hated
Those who have healed where we would have hurt
Those who have spoken out when we would have remained silent
God may we walk in their footsteps
Learning courage from their sacrifice
May we learn to give so that others may receive
May we learn to love so that others may be set free
May we learn to die so that others might live
God may we join that cloud of faithful witnesses
Treading paths of loving obedience
Leaving footprints that others desire to walk in
God may we too lead kingdom lives
Amen.
— Christine Sine, on her excellent website Godspace.
