How would the community respond to the saint? What would be challenging about the example he or she set in your community?

Prayer

Almighty ever-living God, by whose gift we venerate in one Celebration, the merits of all the Saints, bestow on us, we pray, through the prayers of so many intercessors, an abundance of the reconciliation with you for which we earnestly long. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen
