On this day, we are called to remember those who have died,
Particularly those who have died in the past year,
And pray for their joyful reunion with you, their loving creator.
As your son taught us to call the stranger neighbour, our fallen are many –
Names we will never know,
Voices we have never heard,
In lands we may never visit,
Yet brothers and sisters all.
