O God, the King of saints, we praise and glorify your holy Name for all your servants who have finished their course in your faith and fear: for the blessed Virgin Mary; for the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs; and for all your other righteous servants, known to us and unknown; and we pray that, encouraged by their examples, aided by their prayers, and strengthened by their fellowship, we also may be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them.
The Guild of All Souls is an Anglo-Catholic devotional society committed to Intercessory Prayer for the Dying and the Repose of the Souls of the Departed, as well as affirming the two great doctrines of the Creed - the Communion of Saints and the Resurrection of the Dead. The Guild of All Souls at St. Mark’s gathers for requiem masses throughout the year, and on November 2, All Souls Day, a Solemn Requiem is celebrated. All are warmly invited to join members of the guild for these masses.
