A Lenten Collect for Jesus to Share our Tears

Jesus, our brother and companion, weep with us when our hearts are broken, that we would know that we are not alone and that we would take comfort in you sharing in our suffering, through you who brings life out of death and now abides in glory with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.

‘When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus began to weep.’ – John 11:33-35
