DAILY PRAYER FOR ALL SAINTS

OPENING SENTENCES

At both Morning and Evening Prayer, the Litany continues

Let us now commend ourselves, and all for whom we pray, to the mercy and protection of God.

In the morning
O Lord, open my lips. And my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Free intercessions may be offered.

Rejoicing with Mary and all the saints, let us entrust ourselves, and one another, and all our lives to Christ: To you, O Christ our God. Almighty God, you have gathered your people into one communion in the mystical body of your Son. Together with the saints, may we know the joys you have prepared for all who love you, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ALTERNATIVE DISMISSAL Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God.

In the evening
O God, come to our assistance. O Lord, hasten to help us. Glory to the holy and life-giving Trinity, One God: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia! Alleluia! ANTIPHON ON THE MORNING PSALM The Lord is glorious in the saints: * O come, let us worship.

After Psalm 100, this prayer may be said.

Mighty God, by your power you created us and by your grace chose us to be your own people. Accept the offering of our worship, that every race and nation may enter your courts, praising you in song; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
