the blessing of his Spirit,
the reminder of his words,
the sharing of his suffering,
the glory of his resurrection:
shown forth in the lives of his
disciples,
young and old, dead and living,
articulate and silent, strange and
familiar,
brilliant and ordinary.
One: We remember in
every time and place the saints of God
who have
shown us the Lord.
All: Since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses…
let
us worship God with joy!
