<DIV>Mirthful God,<BR>you laugh together with us<BR>when joy brings tears to our
eyes.<BR>The dreadful mourners<BR>laughed at Jesus in their pessimism.<BR>May we
learn to always laugh with each other,<BR>never at each other.<BR>We ask this
through Jesus Christ our Lord, <BR>who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, <BR>one God for ever and ever. Amen</DIV>
