St Mary's Prays
Today we celebrate All Souls Day and we pray for all those who have died.
This feast day reminds us of the church's teaching - that death is not the end but a beginning of a new life with God. We are sad when someone close to us dies, but we know we shall see them again.
Let us Pray
Lord, your Son redeemed us by his death and resurrection and so we pray that those who have died in faith may come and share in your glory.
Lord, give us hope, comfort and strength as we remember our loved ones who are now with you.
We ask this through Christ the Lord.
Amen.
