Solemnity of All Saints

They come in singing,
the saved ones;
immense fresco of joy,
love with a thousand faces
that form one image,
in the light,
the only icon of glory:
Jesus Christ!
Praise to you,
Lord of all the living!
You shared in their trials,
in the power of your resurrection,
they sing:
You have purified them in your spilt blood,
they are children of the Father and give you thanks:
You have fed them with the bread of life;
triumphant over death, they acclaim you:
Praise to you,
Lord of all the living!

Commission Francophone Cistercienne
quoted in Days of the Lord, Volume 7
