In the midst of life we are in death.
\nWe grow and wither as quickly as flowers;
\nwe disappear like shadows.
\nTo whom can we go for help, but to you, Lord God,
\nthough you are rightly displeased because of our sins?
\nAnd yet, Lord God Almighty,
\nmost holy and most merciful Saviour,
\ndeliver us from the bitterness of eternal death.
\nYou know the secrets of our hearts;
\nmercifully hear us, most worthy judge eternal;
\nkeep us, at our last hour,
\nin the consolation of your love. <\/p>\n

You, O Lord, are gracious and compassionate,
\nslow to anger and rich in love.
\nAs kind as a father is to his children,
\nso kind is the Lord to those who honour him.
\nFor you know what we are made of;
\nyou remember that we are dust.
\nAs for us, our life is like grass.
\nWe grow and flourish like a wildflower;
\nthen the wind blows on it, and it is gone
\nno-one sees it again.
\nBut for those who honour the Lord, his love lasts forever,
\nand his goodness endures for all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

S\u00e1bado.
Ele ainda est\u00e1…morto!
