Lord of the heavens, merciful father of the humble, who by a single word restored Lazarus to life,
grant to those who have gone before us
the grace to contemplate the light of your countenance.
Give us the grace to live in peace in our time, to accept the death you have prepared for us, to be guided, both in life
and in death, by your will.
Give but a sign, a word,
O Lord, and already we are saved.
You will not abandon those who love you
but keep them in life, and call them to yourself who are risen. You are the resurrection and the life.
Romanos the Melodious
