On Remembrance Sunday and Indigenous Veterans Day, we remember before God all who have served and all who died in war. As Remembrance Day draws near on Nov. 11, we also pray for all who still bear the cost of war. Give peace in our time, O Lord.

Jesus wept when he heard that Lazarus was dead. There is no Easter Sunday without Holy Saturday. Grief has always been an essential part of the Christian life. On All Souls' Day, we can feel our grief fully in honour of those we have lost.

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord.

Father of all, we pray to you for those we love, but see no longer. Grant them your peace, let light perpetual shine upon them, and in your loving wisdom and almighty power, work in them the good purpose of your perfect will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. Collect for All Souls’ Day, The Commemoration of All Faithful Departed For all the Saints (Revised, 2007)

On this All Saints' Day, we celebrate all of the extraordinary Christians who came before us. For every saint with their own commemoration, there are countless who remain unnamed. God has knit us together in communion with all of them.

Almighty God, whose people are knit together in one holy Church, the mystical Body of your Son, grant us grace to follow your blessed saints in lives of faith and commitment, and to know the inexpressible joys you have prepared for those who love you; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Collect for All Saints’ Day, The Book of Alternative Services (1985)

O Almighty God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of thy Son Christ our Lord: Grant us grace so 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 Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Collect for All Saints’ Day, The Book of Common Prayer (1962, Canada)

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Simon and Saint Jude, whose names appear in the New Testament on every list of the twelve apostles.

Help us to remain faithful and zealous in our own vocations, Almighty God.

Almighty God, we thank you for the glorious company of the apostles, and especially on this day for Simon and Jude. As they were faithful and zealous in their mission, so may we with ardent devotion make known the love and mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Collect for Saint Simon and Saint Jude, The Book of Alternative Services (1985)

O Almighty God, who hast built thy Church upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the head corner-stone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their doctrine, that we may be made an holy temple acceptable unto thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Collect for Saint Simon the Zealot and Saint Jude, The Book of Common Prayer (1962, Canada)
