Remember our Ancestors
Divine Creator,
In this moment of reflection
We bow our heads in reverence
For the beloved souls
Who walked this place before us.
With hearts overflowing with appreciation,
We lift our voices in remembrance for our ancestors,
Whose faithful legacy lives on in our hearts and minds.
We are mindful of their countless sacrifices,
Unwavering courage, and determined resilience,
That paved a way of blessing for us.
We acknowledge with humility,
Both their struggles and triumphs,
Their strength in the face of adversity,
And the love they bestowed through their deeds and words.
As we give thanks for the blessings of the present,
May we never forget the shoulders upon which we stand.
May we remember as You sent Your Son
To embody Your love and presence,
Jesus is our ancestor,
And the living legacy of love,
Our ancestors faithfully followed.
In gratitude and reverence,
May we honor our ancestors,
And the life and legacy of Jesus,
As we live faithfully in our time and place,
Filled with Your love and grace.
In Your Holy Name, we pray,
Amen.
