Remembering the Faithful Departed: All Souls' Day Devotional

As we commemorate the Faithful Departed on All Souls' Day, we are reminded of the love and prayers we offer for those who have gone before us.



In the midst of grief and loss, we find comfort in the hope of resurrection and the communion of saints.

Loving God, we lift up to you all those who have passed from this life, trusting in your mercy and grace. May they find eternal rest and peace in your presence. Amen.

May we continue to remember and honor the lives of the Faithful Departed, knowing that they are held in God's loving embrace.
