November is a month when we remember all those who have died – our loved ones, those who have touched our lives through the media, and those who have lost their lives through war, famine, or tragedy. In some countries, families gather in the graveyard for a picnic, celebrating the lives of those who have died, on All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. They share stories, laughter, and the favourite foods of their loved ones – a joyful remembrance that keeps their spirit alive.
Lord, give us the grace to remember with love and joy all who have died.
May we cherish their memory and honour their lives.
We also pray for those who have no one to remember them – that they may rest in your eternal peace. Amen.
