Compassionate God, whose Son Jesus wept at the grave of his friend Lazarus: Draw near to us in this time of sorrow and anguish, comfort those who mourn, strengthen those who are weary, encourage those in despair, and lead us all to fullness of life; through the same Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen

Dios misericordioso, cuyo Hijo Jesús lloró ante el sepulcro de su amigo Lázaro, acércate a nosotros en este momento de dolor y de angustia, consuela a los que lloran, fortalece a los que están cansados, anima a los que están desesperados, y lleva a todos a la plenitud de la vida; a través del mismo Jesucristo, nuestro Salvador y Redentor, El cual vive y reina contigo, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, Dios por los siglos de los siglos. Amén

Dieu de compassion, à qui son fils Jésus a pleuré à la tombe de son ami Lazare, venez près de nous pendant ce temps de chagrin et d'angoisse. Réconfortez ceux qui porte le deuil, fortifiez ceux qui sont fatigué. Encouragez ceux qui sont désespéré, et guidez-nous tous à une vie prospère. Louange à Jésus-Christ, notre Sauveur et Rédempteur, qui vit et règne avec vous, dans la bonté et l'unité du Saint-Esprit. Dieu pour l’éternité. Amen.

Bondje la charite, ki gen pitit li Jezi ki kriye sou tonm zanmil Laza, senti doule ak lapen nou. Sipote moun ki bouke, bay moun ki lan dezespwa kouraj, ak ou pibon lavi. Mem Jezi Kri gadien nan ciel kap viv, voye zie sou nou, sove nou, avèk Lespri Sen. Bondye pou tout tan. Amen.
