November Prayer Lord God, whose days are without end and whose mercies beyond counting, Keep us mindful that life is short and the hour of death unknown.
Let your Spirit guide our days on earth in the ways of holiness and justice, That we may serve you in union with the whole Church, Sure in faith, strong in hope, perfect in love.
And when our earthly dwelling is ended, lead us rejoicing into your kingdom where you live for ever and ever.
Amen. November is the month in which we especially pray for and remember our beloved dead.
