Solemnity of All Saints – Appreciation of all the wise men and saints of this world
Prayer and Meditation - All Saints' Day
We hereby attest to our solidarity with the deceased. Her death reminds us of the transience of our own life and is the reason why we show ourselves in great gratitude for life. Today, when we commemorate the dead on the graves, we say that the deceased are close to us. Truth and love outlasts death. Merciful Father in heaven, you are Lord of the living and the dead; you give your mercy to all.
After that we ask you for our dead; forgive them what they lacked, so that they may see you with all the saints in everlasting joy. With holy incense we bless the graves of our dead. In memory of our deceased relatives and all who were friends of ours. And those who have done us good in life. We pray for all who rest in this cemetery. All the more, lead our deceased pastor, teacher, friend, superior and deceased into the eternal light. We give thanks for the good they have done for us and are connected to them beyond death.
Last but not least, to commemorate the people who were suddenly torn from their lives by war and violence, illness and accidents. Her death reminds us that we too should be ready for the hour of our death. Give them eternal rest. let her rest in peace.
Wherever you are going, may you find the truth and harmony. Life and Death are the great matter, and time passes swiftly away.
