You were Moved to Pity
Lord, have mercy
You were moved to pity, Lord,
and your heart beat more quickly,
when you saw the tears of the widow of Nain.
To those who are sad today
repeat the words of old, “Do not cry”,
and heal the sadness of our hearts,
we beg you.
Lord, have mercy.
You were moved to pity, Lord,
when you saw the tears of Martha and Mary.
You yourself wept at your friend’s tomb!
Because you are our life and our resurrection
open a door of hope to each of our troubles,
we beg you.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, Jesus,
no sorrow is a stanger to you
and all suffering finds the road to your heart.
Consider the misery of people:
let not their sufferings be in vain,
let them be joined to the merits of your passion
and to your resurrection. (Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
