O God, by the power of your Holy Spirit
you have filled the hearts of your faithful people
with gifts of love for one another.
Hear the prayers we offer for our relatives and friends
and all those we remember this day.
Give them health of mind and body
that they may do your will with perfect love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

*In our version of the Gallican Rite, as well as in most Orthodox worship, "The Names" of those being remembered during the Eucharistic Liturgy are either read aloud at some point before or during the Anaphora [Eucharistic Prayer] or are printed and the list laid upon the altar. This page lists the Names Abba David is currently remembering during worship. Names may be added; please send any names you would like to add to us via email with "The Names" in the subject line.
