God does not give an answer to all our questions, but, in Jesus, God enters into the heart of the questions.
Leonardo Boff
Watch now, dear Lord, with those who watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ. Give rest to the weary. Bless the dying. Soothe the suffering. Pity the afflicted. Shield the joyous. And all for your Love's sake. May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
