O Jesus, on this day, dead, your body lay in the tomb.
I pray you, fortify my faith, granting to me peace with my death, whenever and however it is to come; and, as God, your God, my God, raised you from the dead, also give to me the sureness of trust of my rising to life with you in your presence of Love everlasting. Amen.
