Lent Prayer

Lord, like the traveler lifting the fallen one on the Jericho road, healing all his wounds, you went to Lazarus’ tomb, and would not let him die but loosed the bonds of death, so great was your love for him.

Savior, we believe you weep at every death, and pray at every tomb, for all the dead whose faith is known to you alone.

Like Lazarus, call us your friends, stay in our company,
share what we have, come to our aid when we call and grant us eternal life.
