For all priests who have served as our shepherds, we adore you!
For all deacons who have assisted in our liturgical life, we glorify you!
For all religious who have helped us spiritually, we bless you!
For all who have served the poor among us, we thank you!
For all among us who have taught the faith, we honor you!
For all among us who have served in ministries, we are humble before you!
For all who have given from their treasures, we rejoice in you!
For all who have shared our earthly pilgrimage, we are deeply grateful to you!
Loving Father, may we as your people remain faithful to you and your Holy Catholic Church always to the end of days.
