Dear holy saints of God,
we join our prayers of praise
to yours this day.
with you, we sing of God’s goodness,
rejoice in God’s mercy
and celebrate God’s incredible love.
Teach us to live as you lived --
always thinking of others,
always recognizing our weaknesses,
always rejoicing in God’s gifts,
always closely following Jesus.
Blessed are you, happy are you,
all you holy saints of God.
Pray for us that we, too,
may someday be among God’s Holy Ones.
Amen.
