"Jesus wept." John 11:35
For my friends Franklin and Angie Hayes whose daughter is missing in Haiti.
"O MERCIFUL FATHER, WHO HAS TAUGHT US IN THY HOLY WORD THAT THOU DOST NOT WILLINGLY AFFLICT OR GRIEVE THE CHILDREN OF MEN: LOOK WITH PITY UPON THE SORROWS OF THY SERVANTS FOR WHOM OUR PRAYERS ARE OFFERED. REMEMBER THEM, O LORD, IN MERCY, NOURISH THEIR SOULS WITH PATIENCE, COMFORT THEM WITH A SENSE OF THY GOODNESS, LIFT UP THY COUNTENANCE UPON THEM, AND GIVE THEM PEACE; THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. AMEN."
