Father, I thank You for the great cloud of witnesses
who have gone before us in faith.
May their example inspire me to holiness and perseverance.
Help me to remember that I am never alone — that the saints
intercede for me and walk with me on this journey.
Strengthen my desire for heaven, where all Your children
are united in perfect love and joy.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
— By a Columban Missionary
