Eghersis
is a transliteration of the Greek word, εγερσις, which has the meaning of being roused to life. Thus, it is my hope that what you find on this blog will empower, arouse, stimulate, excite, and animate your life--your soul, your spirit--the wholeness of who you are.

All Saints Day


Today is All Saints Day. It is a day to remember all the saints, known and unknown. It is a day to remember the fellowship or spiritual solidarity of all God's people--the communion of all the saints. In many ways, it is a day to remember the inclusive and all encompassing nature of the Kingdom of God.

Here is a prayer for All Saints Day:


Almighty and Everlasting God,
enkindle the flame of your love in the hearts of the saints,
grant to us the same faith and power of love;
that, as we rejoice in their triumphs
we may profit by their examples, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Gothic Missal
