Eternal God of love, You raised Your Son from the tomb of death to eternal life. We fervently pray that You will also raise this husband and father from the cold stillness of a coma to life everlasting through the same Christ Jesus. As we celebrate the joys of Easter, we recall that You love this man no less than Your own Son. We know that Your Divine Hand is in this event and that, in the fulness of time, Your Holy Name will be praised. Grant us strength to endure in the face of trials that pass our way, O Lord. Graciously incline Your ear to hear Blessed Jesus intercede on behalf of this soul, who undergoes an earthly purification at Your command. May our Lenten prayers not have stopped, but only begun for the sake of this family, which stands in reflection of the Holy Family that You alone established to provide us with Easter hope. We thankfully ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Allleuia!
