“Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.”
Father of infinite love, we are indeed blessed because you love us unconditionally. As we celebrate today the Solemnity of All Saints, may all your children come to worship you in the Eucharist, the very source and fountain of all Holiness. While still on earth, the Saints were sustained by your love because of their great faith in Jesus, your Son. In response, they remained in your love, so they were able to endure all the hardships they had to face, in order not to be separated from Jesus. Now they enjoy being with you eternally. Like them, grant us also perseverance and endurance in every trial that comes along our way. Increase our faith, hope and charity, so that someday we may be one with them in your loving presence. Grant us the grace of humility and obedience. Make us your living saints today. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
All the Saints, Blessed and Martyrs, pray for us.
