HOLY FAMILY PARISH E-NEWSLETTER
March 9, 2008       -click here for additional newsletter on Penance, with correction time.

Lord, like the traveler lifting the fallen one on the Jericho road, healing all his wounds, you went to Lazarus’ tomb, and would not let him die but loosed the bonds of death, so great was your love for him.

Savior, we believe you weep at every death, and pray at every tomb, for all the dead whose faith is known to you alone.

Like Lazarus, call us your friends, stay in our company, share what we have, come to our aid when we call. and grant us eternal life. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
