The Feast of All Saints

Almighty God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystery of the body of this Son Christ our Lord: grant us grace to follow thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living; that we may come to those unspeakable joys, which thou hast prepared for them that unfeignedly love thee. Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Ghost; ever one god, world without end. Amen.

The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee; the goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee; the white-robed army of Martyrs praise thee; all thy Saints and Elect with one voice do acknowledge thee, O blessed Trinity, One God.

Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.
