Preface of All Saints
Secret Prayers Accept, O Lord, these gifts for the commemoration of thy Saints; that like as their passion hath raised them to glory; so our devotion may lead us to innocency of life. Through Jesus Christ thy Son Our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Communion If any man will come after me: let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow after me.
Postcommunion Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord our God; that like as we in this life do gladly honour the memory of thy Saints, so we may in heaven rejoice in their eternal fellowship; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
