Man of sorrows, who knows what it is to suffer, let us comfort one another in grief and distress, that we would not suffer alone but find our pain eased in the presence of others who carry us, through you who died that we might live and now abides forever in the presence of the Father and Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother.’ – John 11:18-19
