Blessed Jesus, worker of miracles, grant us grace to recline with you as Lazarus did, that we would experience your closeness and presence with comfort, knowing deeply that you care for us, through you who is the gate that leads to the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him.’ – John 12:1-2
