“In the name of God our Father, of Jesus Christ His Son our Lord and of the Holy Spirit, who are One and Triune, we present ourselves before the Virgin Mary and honor blessed Lazarus the poor, our Holy Patron and Protector. Praised be the eight beatitudes. Let us lift up our hearts to God with fraternal love, and let us give thanks to the Divine mercy, for the miracles and benefits received, thanks to the merits of the blessed Saint Lazarus. As we bring our offerings, let us pray to God with the intersection of Lazarus of Bethany, that we receive each day the gift of miraculous healing. Let us know that repentance for our sins is the purpose of our salvation. Thank you, good Jesus, for having taught us the way of light, pointing out to everyone the risen Saint Lazarus, your Friend rewarded for his wounds and sufferings in the bosom of the blessed.”
