MASS SCHEDULE
I am the resurrection and the life First Reading — Thus says the LORD GOD: I will open your graves, have you rise from them, and settle you on your land. (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Psalm — With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption (Psalm 130). Second Reading — If Christ is in you, the spirit is alive even if the body is dead because of sin (Romans 8:8-11). Gospel — Lazarus, dead for four days, came out of his tomb when Jesus called his name. Many of those who had seen what had happened began to believe in Jesus (John 11:1-45 [3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45]).

The Gospel of the Fifth Sunday is perhaps the deepest medita-tion on the mystery of Baptism and membership of the Church. It is a prelude to the events of Easter Sunday, when we celebrate the triumph of life over death. To be plunged into the waters of baptism is to be buried with Christ, only to rise with him from the waters. This paradox of life and death is the content of today’s readings. There is no more important part of our faith that the resurrection: that Christ rose from the dead is the very center and heart of all that we believe - with-out it, our faith is useless. In the same way, our belief in our own resurrection is vital: it is the most deeply needed gift that Christ gives us. This is why the climax of the instructions given to candidates for Baptism was this teaching: that Christ would give them life after death. Look ahead to the 3rd Sunday of Easter, where Saint Peter preaches to the crowds what he teaches them is that life comes after death, as it did for Lazarus, and for Christ himself.

DEAD AGAIN “Lazarus, come out!” Jesus shouts his command, and a beloved friend rises from the dead. Those of us who have lost loved ones might wish Jesus would call our dearly departed back from the grave too, keeping them on earth a little while longer for companionship. Consider, however, that Martha and Mary had to grieve their brother not once, but twice. The miracle of Lazarus’ resuscitation did not prevent Lazarus from dying again. Difficult as death is to bear, Jesus has a merciful plan for us: not endless resuscitations, but genuine resurrection. Unlike Lazarus, we will die just once, and that is a small price to pay for the majestic reward Jesus has planned for each of us. Jesus is “the resurrection and the life.” If we believe in him, we can live forever in glorious, resurrected bodies free from pain and disability. The prophet Ezekiel describes the promise of God, to put God’s own spirit within us so we may live. “I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD.” Jesus Christ fulfills that promise. If we belong to Jesus, then, we possess all the riches of God’s kingdom. Today, as we stand at the Profession of Faith and recite the Creed with our sisters and brothers in Christ, we can marvel at what the Lord has done for us.

Implementing national mandate to protect children
2017 marks 15 years since the establishment of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Charter for the Pro-tection of Children and Young People. The Archdio-cese has made an ongoing commitment over the past 15 years to implement the Char-ter by providing education and tools to help protect children and vulnerable adults from sexual abuse and other threats to their safety. Since 2002, the Archdiocese has trained approximately 300,000 adults and more than 1 million children. For more infor-mation log into www.miamiarch.org
“Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?” JOHN 11:40
Many of us say that we believe in God. We go to church on Sunday. We volunteer for events at our parish. But when life gets hard, the pressure is on, things aren’t going our way, do we believe, do we genuinely put our trust in the Lord? When we live a life of gratitude, being thankful for the gifts we have been given, we do see that God is providing all that we need.
