MORNING PRAYER (Wednesday 02nd November 2022)
ALL SOULS
Author of life abundant and eternal,
we thank you for the cloud of witnesses
who make the mysterious heaven
a home for our hearts.
Before you, we remember
those faces we love
and those spirits we treasure.
At radiant dawn
and in the quiet of dusk:
WE REMEMBER THEM.
Under summer skies
with the farmlands shimmering:
WE REMEMBER THEM.
Through winter’s storms
mid frost and snow:
WE REMEMBER THEM.
At the return of spring
with wattles clad in gold.
WE REMEMBER THEM.
At birthdays and family celebrations,
and in the festivals of the Church:
WE REMEMBER THEM.
When Christmas arrives
with its carols and candles:
WE REMEMBER THEM.
In the house of God
as we sing and pray;
in the trumpets of the dawn
on Easter Day;
in the Bread we break
and the cup we take
with Eucharistic joy:
WE REMEMBER THEM.
(Australian Prayers: Bruce D Prewer)

In Paradisum Deducant Te Angeli Latin Chant November 2nd All Souls Day Catholic Hymn
In Paradisum
In Paradisum deducant te Angeli
in tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus Angelorum te suscipiant
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.
Antiphon from the traditional Latin liturgy of the Western Church Requiem Mass
Into Paradise
May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs greet you at your arrival
and lead you into the holy City of Jerusalem.
May the choir of Angels greet you
and like Lazarus, who once was a poor man,
may you have eternal.
