I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

A Prayer for All Saints Sunday

O God of All the Saints, we praise you for the great company of those who have finished their course of faith and now rest from their labor. We praise you for those dear to us whom we name in our hearts before you. Especially we praise you for the saints we name this day. Grant to them your peace. Let your perpetual light shine upon them; and help us to believe where we have not seen, that your presence may lead us through our years, and bring us at last with them into the joy of your home, not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
