Thought for the week:
​
Finding the words to talk about death defeats us all. It is bound to be difficult- life is precious and the people we love are most precious of all. When someone dies, words can rarely ease the pain we feel, although they can make it worse.
One of the words we turn to when talking of death is “loss.” Yet, as we shall hear at Sunday’s All Souls’ Service, Jesus promised that no one is lost:
“I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.”
M.C.
Collect:
Almighty God,
you have knit together your elect
in one communion and fellowship
in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord:
grant us grace so to follow your blessed saints
in all virtuous and godly living
that we may come to those inexpressible joys
that you have prepared for those who truly love you;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
