I didn't see anything about "All Souls Day" in the Book of Common Prayer, just All Saints Day, but did find this in the Canadian Book of Alternative Services.
Father of all,
we pray to you for those we love, but see no longer.
Grant them your peace,
let light perpetual shine upon them,
and in your loving wisdom and almighty power,
work in them the good purpose of your perfect will;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Book of Alternative Services (Anglican Church of Canada) p.429
Anyone know why this day was added to the Anglican Calendar?
Yours in the Lord,
