In Catholic tradition the month of November is a time to remember all those who have died. Catholic Churches across the world, usually have a Book of Remembrance that is placed in a prominent position within the Church itself so that the names in the book are especially ‘remembered’ and prayed for during this month. November is a time for remembering and praying for our loved ones who have gone before us and whose loss we feel. It is a time when we are particularly conscious of those in our communities who are grieving and all those families who have lost loved ones in the past year.
Lord of life and love,
as we give thanks for times past,
grant us courage to embrace the present
and grace to share the future.
In memory of loved ones dear,
kindle their flame to shine in the dark
and light the path ahead.
Show the way that leads to life
as we cherish days gone by
and inspire us with the touch of love
that faith and hope live on.
Amen
