Here’s
a thoughtful litany for All Saints from Liturgy
Link.
All Saints Litany
Let us give thanks to
God for all the saints of our lives
and the witness they
have shared with us
even as we continue
to walk the journey of faith
and make our way to
the glory that God is preparing for all of us.
Let us pray.
Eternal
God,
our
help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
we
praise you for the saints of all times and places
who
have walked the road of faith before us and beside us.
For
their witness to your love
and
their commitment to your justice,
for
their trust in your mercy regardless of the circumstance,
we
give you thanks and praise.
God
of all creation,
we
praise you for all your servants
who
have witnessed to your truth,
who
have shown us your love,
who
have inspired us to have hope.
By
their example of faith, hope, and love,
remind
us of your calling
to
join in making your new creation real
in
this world and the next.
God
of grace and peace,
we
praise you for women and men and children
who
reflect your love into our world.
Guide
us to continue their faithful work
as
we too walk in the light of your love.
God
of all saints,
today
we especially remember
the
saints from among this community
who
have departed our company over the past year.
We
thank you for the faithful witness of N. and N.,
for
their courage amidst strife
and
their hope in the face of death.
We
remember so many other saints
who
have walked this road with us,
whom
we name before you aloud or in silence:
Continue
to inspire us by their faithful witness,
that
we too might join in bringing
your
justice, mercy, and peace to our world.
Eternal
God,
as
we walk this pilgrim way,
make
our faith firm,
our
hope clear,
and
our love pure,
that
we might join the saints of all the ages
in
praise eternal,
through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
