PRAYER FOR ALL SAINTS' DAY

(cemetery at Assumption Abbey)
 
Amen.   Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, power, and might be to our God forever and ever.   Amen.  
 
This prayer from Revelations 7:12 of the saints and angels before the throne of God beckons us also;  it is a beautiful seven-fold acclamation, beginning and concluding with an 'amen'.  This prayer unites us with them and each other as we prepare to worship God and serve brothers and sisters here on earth.  Making this prayer our own here prepares us to join in that prayer ourselves one day before the throne of God in heaven.  What a wonderful thought!
