For the repose of souls of the Departed. May the Lord grant comfort for those who grieve them.
All our SMM Parishioners who have passed.

God of all creation, we thank you today for your gift of musicians. We know that every good and perfect gift comes from you.  Lord God, we ask that you bless all who lead our parish in prayer through the gift of music. May our musicians facilitate music that brings you glory. Music that transcends barriers that divide race, class, gender, denominationalism, ethnicity or geography. May their gifts create the atmosphere that lifts you up, for you said “If you be lifted up from the earth you will draw all people unto you” today we celebrate musicians for the healers that they are. Providing light and renewal to their soul.

Lord God, gracious and merciful, we pray for their strength, and the strength of their families and loved ones. We ask that you continue to cause them to create and share the gift of music through instrument and voice.  May they find joy in their work and may it fill them with peace, comfort and purpose. Fill musicians with your light and love as they generously share with the world. Lord let all creation sing your praise and the host make music in your presence. Bless musicians as only you can. In your name we pray.
Amen.
