The collect for today, The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, commonly called All Souls’ Day (source[1]):
Everlasting God, our maker and redeemer,
grant us, with all the faithful departed,
the sure benefits of thy Son’s saving passion
and glorious resurrection,
that, in the last day,
when thou dost gather up all things in Christ,
we may with them enjoy the fullness of thy promises;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
The Epistle: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18[2]
The Gospel: St. John 5:24-27[3]
