The Solemnity of All Saints is a day of precept for all Roman Catholics.

“Almighty ever-living God, 

by whose merits we venerate in one celebration 

the merits of all the Saints, 

bestow on us, we pray, 

through the prayers of so many intercessors, 

an abundance of the reconciliation with you 

for which we earnestly long. 

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God for ever an ever. Amen.”
