PRAYER ON ALL SAINTS DAY


Scripture reading for ALL SAINTS DAY: Matthew 5: 1-12, Revelation 9: 9-17

Quirky fact: All Saints was John Wesley's favorite Christian holy-day.

A PRAYER FOR ALL SAINTS DAY

Sing praises to God, O you saints,
and give thanks to God's holy name!
We exalt you, O God, for you have restored us to life!
We may cry through the night, but your joy comes with the morning.
You hear us, O God, and you are gracious in our distress.
You turn our mourning into dancing!Our souls cannot be silent!
O God, our Savior, we give thanks to you for ever!

MEDITATION FOR ALL SAINTS DAY
We often remember saints through pictures, mosaics, statues, and stained glass. Take some time and surf the web and learn about a saint from our Christian tradition. Blog about that saint today and share the saint with others. A place to start might be Christian Saint's Notes.

Thanks for this . . . I've already blogged today, but I'll consider adding an entry about a particular saint. Blessings today!
