Prayer for the
Feast of All Saints

Lord Jesus,

The poverty of our souls, hearts, and spirits is great. Our suffering and tribulation in this vale of tears is manifold. Make us, however, rich by grace, that we may seek heavenly goods from You, our Redeemer, with living faith, and grant us Your Holy Spirit, who may comfort, quicken, and bless us through the power of Your Word in the midst of all suffering and misery. Grant that, with meekness, we may endure in true patience our little crosses which You have laid upon us here to bear; that, in as much as we have the opportunity, we may live peaceably and in unity with all; and that we may rightly partake of and make use of the precious daily bread and whatever else You have bestowed upon us for the preservation of this life in Your fear and blessing, unto Your praise and honor and the service and benefit of our neighbor. Amen.
