A Prayer for Halloween

God of Laughter and Joy,

We turn to you in the way of our ancient ancestors, grateful for the abundance of food and festivity that surrounds us this time of year.

Keep all children safe as they embark on their Halloween revels.

Light their way through the dark night and enfold them in love.

May the real treat in their lives be grace that multiplies in depth and breadth as they grow older.

We pray this with all the saints in heaven.

Amen.
