Prayers of the Month

For All Soul’s Day
Father in heaven, we thank you because you made us in your own image and gave us gifts in mind, body and spirit.

We thank you now, and call to mind, our loved ones; we thank you for what they mean to each of us.

As we honour their memory, make us more aware that you are the one from whom comes every perfect gift, including the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. AMEN.

For Remembrance Sunday
Father, we remember how your Son, during the time of his ministry on earth, had great compassion for those who suffered.

We bring to you those who still suffer as the result of war. Hear our prayer, Father, for those who live with the pain and scars of bodily injury;

for those whose minds are shattered by the horrors which they witnessed or endured; for those who have been bereaved;

for those who do not believe in you or trust their fellows. Grant to them peace of mind and heart, and relief from all their suffering, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
