God of all consolation and compassion,
your Son comforted the grieving sisters, Martha and Mary;
your breath alone brings life
to dry bones and weary souls.
Pour out your Spirit upon us,
that we may face despair and death
with the hope of resurrection
and faith in the One
who called Lazarus forth from the grave. Amen.
(from RCL Prayers, Fortress Press, 86).
Invitatory Psalm 118
O Lord, you are my strength and my power;
you are my salvation.
....
I shall not die, but I shall live,
and recount the deeds of the Lord.
....
Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through the
and give thanks to the Lord.
....
