Week 5 of Lent


“ I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will never die.”

Jesus comes to the tomb of Lazarus.  This story reminds us that Jesus is about confronting the culture of death and inviting us into a new life, a risen life.  He came to give sight to the blind, freedom to the captive, liberation to the oppressed, good news to the poor: a Mission bringing fullness of life.  Imagine yourself as the bound and dead Lazarus.  Listen to the commands of Jesus: 
                “Take away the stone”
                “Lazarus come forth”
                “Unbind him”
                “Set him free”

Do the work of Lent.  Remove the stones, obstacles in your life.  Come forth, witness to your following of this Jesus.  Unbind yourself and be free to live the God Life fully.
