Christ who wept,
You met the widow who had lost everything and with deep conviction and compassion said to her son, “Rise!”
May we also experience this promise of a life renewed, a hope restored, a future worth living.
Because when we weep for all that is lost we need to know you will visit us, we need to know that you care.
Amen.
