Benediction for All Saints Day

Here’s a benediction for All Saints Day (November 1, or the Sunday closest to it). It comes from the Christian Church Foundation website.

Benedictions

God’s people have celebrated all that God has done,
from creation, to the cross,
to the saints who have lived among us.
Now we go from this place to the work place,
the home place,
the market place;
every place living as God’s own people.
And may the love of God….
