Our brother, Jesus, who wept over Lazarus in the tomb, we thank you for grieving with us over those we have lost. Be close to us in our pain, but comfort us also with the truth that we will all be with you in glory together when you return at the fulfillment of this age, who reigns now and forever with the Father and Holy Spirit, one God of life and power. Amen.
‘Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”‘ – John 11:35-36
