ALL SOULS PRAYER REQUESTS
MONKS WILL PRAY FOR DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER
Beginning with the Feast of All Saints' Day and All Souls’ Day at the beginning of November, a centuries-old tradition calls for remembering our deceased family and friends in prayer for the entire month of November.
If you have deceased loved ones whom you would like remembered in prayer by the monks of Saint Joseph Abbey throughout the month of November, submit your prayer request below. Their names will be placed on the Blessed Virgin Mary’s altar in the Abbey Church where the monks gather every night to sing the Salve Regina. We humbly pray that the souls of your loved ones find serene rest with our Lord.
Prayer for Eternal Rest
In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
Amen.
Your prayer requests are dear to us at the Abbey.
I am aware that many are unable to make contributions during this time. As always, the gift of your prayers is most appreciated. If you are able, your generous support will provide much-needed assistance to our monastic community’s prayer and work at the Abbey.
Let us remain rooted in hope and trust in God. Be assured of our prayers for you and your family and friends.
— Abbot Justin Brown, O.S.B.
