Eternal and Almighty God,
we give you thanks for all your faithful people
who have followed your will in a grand procession of praise
throughout the world and down through the centuries,
into our own time and place.
We hear their stories in the pages of scripture,
in the records of history, in the recollections of our families
and in our own childhood memories.
As we remember these people, inspire us by your Spirit to join their ranks
and follow our Lord through life, to be bold as they were, and brave as well,
witnessing to your righteous truth and generous love.
Give us grace, O God, that we will leave a legacy of faithfulness
to encourage and challenge those who follow us along the way of discipleship;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
