Greetings to the Koonung Heights Community,

In recognition of All Saints Day and All Souls Day this coming weekend, the offering of a prayer from Rev Julia Seymour.

For all the saints, who from their labours rest,

            the saints gone too soon before the fullness of their grace was fully known by human minds.

            the saints who were not lauded, but whose faithfulness bore generations of fruit.

            the saints whose witness spoke truth to power and brought forth new creations.

            the saints who died with doubts, questions, and hope in mystery.

            the saints whose pained ends brought out words that God received, knowing their truth.

            the saints whose legacies are the history from which we learn how to do and be better.

            the saints who are only remembered by God.

For these and so many others, we give thanks to God.  Amen.

May we remember, and be thankful, for those we have known who, by their faith and witness, have encouraged us on our journeys.

Blessings – Heather Hon (she/her)
